And , now I would say a few words to the ladies of Manchester and its _vicinitymany of whom are doubtless ignorant even of the
, existence of such an institution . Ladies' help is needed , and would be most gratefully received . At first sight it may appear that toe
can do but little for an institution of this peculiar class ; and yet there are many inlets for benevolence , besides giving money , which
is also wanted . Material is required for shirts and other garments ; and the inmates being all boys , assistance in sewing is highly valued _.
Let those who can give nothing else , at least not withhold their interest and sympathy , but , by occasional visits , cheer the hearts of

ominous past unfurls its fatal banners , on which are inscribed , " treachery—perjury—tyranny . " But , while the future is thus
dark , thanks to the book now under consideration , the history of Italy ' s past lies like a map before us , and there are few English _,
readers who may not profit by this able summary which , though dealing chiefly with events 1 subsequent to the Congress of Vienna ,
furnishes also a resumeof the rise and progress of the various Italian States long antecedent to 1815 . Resident in Italyintimately acquainted with the history of the
