The following Hand-bill was circulated through the metropolis on Friday:
SPENCE'S PLAN
For Parochial Partnerships in the Land,
Is the only effectual remedy for the
Distresses and Oppression of the People.
The Landlords are not Proprietors in Chief, they are but the stewards of the Public,
for the LAND is the PEOPLE's FARM.
The Expenses of the Government do not cause the Misery that surrounds us, but the enormous exactions of the "Unjust Stewards."
Landed Monopoly is indeed equally contrary to the benign spirit of Christianity, and destructive of
The Independence and Morality of Mankind.
"The Profit of the Earth is for All."
Yet how deplorably destitute are the great Mass of the People!
Nor is it possible for their situations to be radically amended, but by the establishment of a system,
Founded on the immutable basis of Nature and Justice.
Experience demonstrates its necessity; and the rights of mankind require it for their preservation.
To obtain this important object, by extending the knowledge of the above system, the Society of Spencean Philanthropists has been instituted. Further information of its principles may be obtained by attending any of its sectional meetings, where subjects are discussed calculated to enlighten the human understanding, and where also the regulations of the society may be procured; containing a complete development of the Spencean system. Every individual is admitted, free of expense, who will conduct himself with decorum.
The meetings of the society begin at a quarter after eight in the evening as under:— First section, every Wednesday at the Cock, Grafton-street, Soho; second, Thursday, Mulberry-tree, Mulberry-court, Wilson-st, Moorfields; third, Monday, Nag's-head, Carnaby market; fourth, Tuesday, No. 8, Lumber-street, Mint. Borough.
