The generous projector, or a friendly proposal to prevent murder and other enormous abuses, by erecting an hospital for foundlings and bastard-children. With a full answer to all objections yet brought against that laudable undertaking. Also to save many persons from destruction, by clearing the streets of shameless strumpets, suppressing gaming-tables and Sunday debauches: with a plain explosion of, and proposal to amend a growing abuse, viz. the barbarous custom of men's putting their wives into private mad-houses, on frivolous pretences, where they often end their days in the utmost misery: also a proposal to amend several great abuses daily committed by watermen. and necessary hints for redressing divers other publick grievances, which call aloud for amendment. Humbly dedicated to the right honourable Humphry Parsons, Esq; Lord-Mayor of the city of London. And highly worthy the consideration of the Legislature.
