 THE LAMBERT FUND.

LETTER FROM MR\01TARLES READE.

to draw on me at discretion. But this con—

Glasgow. alone; and have said other things
to lower him. Things that are distinct
should be kept distinct; certainly J ames
Lambert has less claim on Glasgow now than
pnt/Lc other cities of the Empire; but that is
,no reason why the English subscribers should
be chilled by a false statement, that James
Lambert wasted the last subscription. How
rcan that be, when he never controlled it?
It was paid weekly by a trustee, and it
lasted eleven years ; and'eleven years are 572
weeks. If people will only take all the
ﬁgures into consideration, they will ﬁnd
that the money went in the rent,
food, and clothes of a blind man
and ahelpless woman. Having now declared
my views, permit me to express a hope
thatgif anybody in Glasgow or Scotland is
willing to co-operateiin them, he will be good
enough to send his donation to “ The Lam-
bert Fund,” Messrs Harriesd; Co.,16StJames’s
Street, London. At the same time, I will
ask him to send me a'line notifying the pay—
ment; because it is my wish to print in my
next edition the names of all the donors.
And I fully believe that the descendants of
these ladies and gentlemen will point with
some satisfaction to their pr'ogenitors’ names
[as the names of people who were before
”their age, since they had brains enough in
their skulls to see that a man may be a hero
without a red coat, and blood enough in
their hearts to feel for a great human bene-
factor whom God has afﬂicted—J have the
honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
