Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gleanings From a Gathered Harvest
It has been frequently asked, What is the cause of the increase of pauperism in our cities? How is it that our poor houses are not only crowded with age and decay, but even with youthful mendicity? How is it that so many young persons become inmates of these institutions, who might be creditably and profitably employed And above all, to what causes are we to attribute that increase of depravity, sensuality and crime, which is so awfully apparent These are serious ques tions which it is becoming seriously to ask our selves.
