Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in 1762, stands as a testament to the enlightenment values of charity and Christian values of the time. Brimming with hope, the author establishes a charitable organization called the Asylum for the reception of orphan girls. Driven by a desire to prevent vice and cultivate virtue, the author lays out the structure and purpose of the charity. The book includes the regulations and rules that will govern the charity, as well as a list of the charity's goals and objectives. The author provides the context for the charity's founding, highlighting the desperate conditions of the orphans, and outlines the steps that have been taken to prevent future destitution. The book also includes information about the Asylum's goals, such as giving the orphans a religious education and vocational skills so that they may become useful members of society. This book humanizes the plights of orphans and provides a template for charity work that would be used for generations to come.
