The removal of the Establishment also to a larger and more commodious house, and the additional fur¬ niture, &c. required, compel the Committee urgently to solicit increased aid to their funds, (the present annual receipts barely meeting the annual expen¬ diture), and to request the public to visit the In¬ stitution, and to make known, as extensively as possible, that it is open to all parts of the kingdom, and to every class of society. The parlour boarders have separate apartments, teachers, &c. and their comfort is in every respect attended to. From the size of the present house, the Committee have accommodation for six parlour boarders, and should they obtain the full number, the present terms of £80 per annum will be reduced. The unremitting attention of the Medical Gen¬ tlemen connected with the Institution again claims the grateful thanks of the Committee.
