    at Leeds iA ^ ftrtt ^ tii ^; e several inhabitants of ttiat towrt have enabled tfeeraselVes to give certain infdraratkfti otf the subject . It is stated in t&e ninth Number of the Economist ,

    ' that a deputation was appointedby tlie township of Leeds , 1819 , to visit Mr . Owen ' s establishment at New Lanark , and there to examine into the practical results ; that this deputation consisted of Mr . Cawood , a gentleman who then filled the office of

    Chtitfchwferden ; Mr . Oastler , an aged and benevolent character , and a principal leader among the resident Methodists at Leeds ; afcd' Mr . Baines , the proprietor of the Leeds Mercury , who is a member of a congregation of D 5 sseniors called Independents ; that one

    cff Obese gentlemen was known , if any tMirtg , to be rat&er unfavourable to the system he was appointed to exaifcitfe , afcd neithe * of the two others had' aay bias in its favour ; and that , at ( fiflferent politfcal principles and

    vartetis Religious persuasions , they were well qualified frotri their previous habits , aad pursuits to take a cool and i «* paffial view of the establishment , and * to form an accurate judgment npott its merits : that they returned from the examination to Leeds , full

    df admiration of scenes of which they had been unable to form any previous conception , aild especially of the systtem of training and educating the children , and the happy effects which arose from it . " The Economist adds ,

    " 1 have bad fhe pleasure of reading Mr , Cawood ' s private journal , and I do not remeflaber having been ever more deeply affected than by the delight with which that gentleman suffers the feelings of a benevolent heart to run over , as it were , in expressions of affectionate lwe ' and admiration of the

    ohildrfen , and pf blessings on their inilocent and endearing deportment /* It is also stated , in the same Number , " that the Translator of the two published reports of Mr .

    sense of strong expressions to a greater height and a more universal extent than they were intended to iijnply . This observation is suggested by considering the passage , quoted by the Apostle Paul , Rom / iii . 10 , 11 , 12 , with great propriety to his subject , %
