SOCIAL ECONOMY.

PROSPECTUS.

Amongst the important and interesting results of the Great Exhibition
of 1851. has been to establish the relations between Blind and Labour upon
a much more extensive and intimate footing than had ever before been sup-
posed to exist or to be possible; — to elevate the character of the
workman by giving him a taste for the beautiful in connexion with the
useful—principles which, in the economy of nature, are so wondrously
associated—and to extend his resources by inspiring him with an ambition
to bring his peculiar industry, however humble in itself, to bear in some
manner upon the highest and most honoured fields of enterprise. By such
means we may hope to see the jealousies between classes and rival trades
removed, and the best exertions of all uniting for the common good.

Extending our regards beyond our own shores, we see another and still
■ more gratifying result of the Great Industrial CongreSB of 1851, in the con-
viction brought to the Productive Classes of all nations of a community of
interests existing between them, superior to all interests of nationality,
above all prejudices of race and birth. Thus, to sum up, we attain in the
first place, increased knowledge of our own resources and of the resources
of our neighbours, which, whilst it creates a just confidence in ourselves,
will also create a feeling of respect for others; secondly, a recognition of
the importance of the principles of reciprocal dealing, by which the pecu-
liar advantages of one community may be interchanged for those of others;
—finally, an enlarged field of commerce, and the infusion of a more liberal
spirit into commercial transactions, by which commerce will grow, and
with it civilisation and peace be extended as the connecting bond of the
whole human family.

These new relations of Society, so happily inaugurated, arc as yet without
an exponent.—"Tin-: People's Illustrated Journal" will endeavour to
fill a post so honourable and so useful. Industry, Commerce, and Intellec-
tual and Social Progress, in their various phases of development, will be
the objects to which the Conductors will devote their undivided attention,
and of which they will seek to render a faithful and intelligible account
from day to day, and from week to week.

The whole family of the Arts—Arts Mechanical and Useful—Arts Deco-
rative, and the Fine Arts, properly so called,—will como within the scope of
" The People's Illustrated Journal." The Artisan shall have his Picture
Gallery, and his Concert Room—aye, and his Theatre, to dissipate his
thoughts, and extend the range of his ideas in bis hours of relaxation.

In the department of Manufactures, whilst those of Foreign nations will
como in for a full share of notice, the "Workshops of England," inadequately
represented (as is now generally admitted to bavo been the case) in the
Great Exhibition, will be treated of with a fullness of detail, drawn from

JVoA

the most authentic sources, never before attempted. These Papers, ris
completed, will comprise a most valuable compendium of the Mamifectmm
Commercial, and Industrial Resources of Great Britain in the ninetwsil
century. The Editor of ''The People's Illustrated Journal" hns already
received much valuable and exclusive information from those persomBr
interested and experienced in the " Workshops of England," and &&
further communications of a like kind, which will receive his M
attention.

Practical Science is daily discovering and revealing new and imperial
applications of natural products and natural affinities in the fabrication |
articles of daily use. Especial attention will be paid in "The People':
Illustrated Journal" to these discoveries, so calculated to inoMasaJS
comforts of the people and extend the resources of industry.

Whilst thus more especially devoted to the Arts of Life, "Tee People's
Illustrated Journal" will not neglect the Intellectual Progress of w?
Community, as manifested in the Literature of the Age. In selcctoj
Works for Review, and in their treatment, the Conductors will study ess-
tial features of great permanent interest, rather than the ephemeral »ft»
tions of a light and frivolous class of Literature already sufficiently nw$
tared to by others.

The Social Economy of the Industrial World will receive the igm
consideration of the Conductors of "The People's Illustrated Jotr^1-
The resources,—the economic arrangements,— the provident dispoj111'-;^
—the liomos, the hopes, the rights, aud the duties' of the iVortoi
Man, will all bo treated of in turn, in a spirit of friendly counsel *c
only by a sincere desire to increase the comforts, aud elevate the p0t''"!
of the producing millions. .i

Occasional Essays on general subjects, Sketches of Men and MBN^
and now and. then a scrap of Poetry, will be introduced to add the c \
of variety to "The People's Illustrated Journal." ,,jiri

With these purposes before it, and conducted with zeal an ^ ^
" The People's Illustrated Journal," it is presumed; will occup) ■3
field of wide influence aud utility; and the Proprietors confidentI^^
mend it to tho consideration of the intellectual portion of the c°u"' Ai

The Engravings, which will be numerous, and as varied in chnn jg
the subjects treated of, will be executed in the highest style of ^._^
Paper will be of a very superior quality to that used for " TliB ^
