A system of schools, academies, colleges, and universities obtained in villages, districts, departments, and principalities. The instruction was divided into 'Primary Learning' and 'Great Learning. There were special schools of dancing and music. Libraries and almshouses for old men are mentioned. Associations of scholars for literary purposes seem to have been numerous.
At the corner of the former is an old house still called the Box Farm, and bearing the date 1686. In Markham Square is a large Congregational chapel, opened in 1860. Cadogan Street contains St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, almshouses, school and cemetery.
We could spend endless time in visiting the old almshouses in many parts of the country. There is the Ford's Hospital in Coventry, erected in 1529, an extremely good specimen of late Gothic work, another example of which is found in St. John's Hospital at Rye.
He thought he might be able to use his influence to get me into one." She paused and smiled, but her small, wrinkled hands held each other closely. Tembarom looked away. He spoke as though to himself, and without knowing that he was thinking aloud. "Almshouses!" he said. "Wouldn't that jolt you!" He turned on her again with a change to cheerful concern.
Being thanked for this also, he presented an excellent pendulum clock of his own making, to be placed over his Majesty's arms upon the principal gate of the dockyard, with a bell above the clock to strike the hours of the day, as well as to summon the men to their work; and two more dials, the one for the new town-hall, the other for the almshouses near St. Helen's Port.
From this point one can see the tapering spire of St. Michael's Church, in the grounds of Mount Dinham, where are the almshouses erected and endowed in 1860 by John Dinham. Here are forty free cottages and episcopal charity schools, the latter founded originally in 1709 by Bishop Offspring Blackall. Continuing along the bastion the limit of the northern wall is soon reached.
To the west of the cemetery lies a network of interlacing railways, to the north a few streets, in one of which there is an iron church. We have now made practical acquaintance with this vast borough, stretching from the river to Kensal Green, and including within its limits an exceptional number of churches and chapels of all denominations. There are numerous convents, almshouses, and schools.
I gave him my benediction, and left him smoking some of my tobacco, content with himself and with the world always excepting the authorities, or board, of the almshouses, against whom he appears to nourish a grievance. After leaving him, I walked about Ullerton for an hour or so before returning to my humble hostelry.
In one single generation of her unhappy line there were twenty children; of these, three died in infancy, and seventeen survived to maturity. Of the seventeen, nine served in the State prison for high crimes an aggregate term of fifty years, while the others were frequent inmates of jails and penitentiaries and almshouses.
Still, we do attend to our own poor as well as we can. Our Benevolent Fund is sufficient for the relief of those who apply in distress. We cannot build "almshouses," but "Atheist widows" are not neglected. On the whole, however, we are not so loud as the Christians in praise of "charity," Much of it is very degrading. If we had justice in society there would be less for "charity" to do.
