    General Accounts. It remains only further to observe that the Governors, while attempting to introduce the utmost punctuality, accuracy, and economy, into the private accounts of the Patients, have not neglected the public accounts of the Institution : a Committee has for some time been appointed to arrange them, to class the papers and documents, and to form an improved system of book-keeping; the whole details being, by the avowed principles of the Institution, open to the most minute investigation of each individual Governor. Directions have been given for a regular Digest to be formed, of the several cases and their Medical treatment: a document on which, it is presumed, the medical character of the Institution, and its future utility, greatly depend. The new Airing Grounds have been for some time in use, and with the new Buildings now in occupation, are found to conduce most essentially to the comfort of the Patients. R. PRETYMAN, Chairman. Lincoln, 1829.
