Chapter will therefore be chiefly confined to a detail of the causes, which produced these extraordinary and extensive depredations, and the various means by which they were perpetrated; and also to the remedies which have been successfully applied since the publication of the preceding editions of this Work, for the purpose of reducing within bounds, and keeping in check, this enormous and growing evil; for certain it is, that previous to the establishment of the Marine Police System, in the Month of July 1798, the increase had been regular and progressive, while the easy manner in which this species of property was obtained, generated an accession of plunderers every year.

Chapter on the subject of Base Coin, in this _Treatise_; and the remedies ultimately proposed for suppressing this enormous evil.--The Author has great satisfaction in stating that a Bill is now nearly prepared, grounded chiefly on his suggestions, for improving the Coinage Laws; and that sanguine hopes are entertained of its pa.s.sing during the present Session of Parliament.--The proposition now made of bringing this feature of Police, so far as relates to _Presses_, and other _Machinery_, under the inspection of the proposed _Central Board_, will certainly have a powerful effect in deterring evil-minded persons from following the Trade of Coiners of Base Money, or Engravers and Stampers of forged Bank Notes.--In this kind of Control, the Police Revenue Board would have an advantage arising from the nature of the System, which may be considered as _invaluable in a national point of view_, since no part of the Country, however remote, could be said to be out of their reach, as Officers, under their immediate direction, would be found every where.]
Chapter of this Work: but for a more enlarged and comprehensive view of the nature and effect of the design, recourse must be had to the Author"s _Treatise on the Commerce and Police of the River Thames, &c._ now in the press; in which the whole plan is developed, together with the Legislative System necessary to give permanent effect to the design.]

Chapter of this Treatise,[196] a general view is given of the shocking corruption of Morals, which is generated by the vast increase of common Prost.i.tutes in the Metropolis.--It now becomes necessary to explain the specific remedies which the Author had in view for the purpose of lessening this enormous and afflicting evil.
Chapter of this Work, with functions calculated to check and prevent this evil, by giving to Police the full energy of the Law.
Chapter of this Work, pages 89 to 92, seem to justify the interference of Parliament for the purpose of placing _Milk Dealers_ under the inspection and controul of the Police: Here the injury is not merely confined to the frauds thus practised on the Public, but the healths of the Consumers are in some measure endangered from the infamous devices which are practised.
