All this, the infernal factory system lias de stroyed and such of die children as survive their treatment, enter upon life wiiriniii the slightest ::c)wh"de of any of in duttcs. All this baa been f ir years deteriorating the whole aspect and fice of society iu I'liilland, whilst the sufferings of those ai -lua.ly cittja-ifd so nnd about the factories, has been getting worse and worse everv vear.
