Convey'd to every house of public entertainment
- to every place of public meeting for the
lower classes without exception, the Police Gazette
would find its way into the hands, and furnish
no small part of the entertainment, of the 500,000
fighting men who have been computed to constitute
the population of the Friendly Societies.
Five hundred thousand forms therefore a part -
thoughand but a part - of the audience toto which
the sort of sermon in question would be preached
weekly and as much of as was thought fit
preached addressed to the alternative use of
which would not be subject to these causes of
failure which affect the efficiency of other sermons. Not a nook
nor a cranny in which this antidote would not
be sure to meet whatever poisons of the moral
or political kind either actually are or ever can
be administered: and beyond that, the antidote
would preoccupy and preserve thousands and thousands
of minds, in places in places into
which the poison (especially considering the price
to which it had lately been raised) could in
can never hope to penetrate.
