Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Children's Aid Society: February, 1855That such a class has been gradually growing up in New York during the last twenty years, to immense numbers, no one who knows the city can doubt. Our own operations, now finishing the second year, strengthen the conviction that the statistics furnished the last year, in regard to the condition and number of this class, are not exaggerated, and that the mass of the evil, and its distance from the usual modes of cure, are greater even than we supposed. We become convinced that all the operations of charity in the city, reach only a portion of this misery.And yet, our experience has also taught us, that this crowd of poor, unhappy, dissolute people, is made up of individuals debased by their own fault, or made wretched by circumstances, who can be in¿uenced.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
