ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in th immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at Icing's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most *retched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 0,000 out-patients a week.

„ .
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EA RNEST AP PEAL to the public for continued support,
to e,:able theni to :admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas ernian, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

them into a condition of so universal welfare and dignit y."
With a view of carrying out this idea, the author has, in a
series of admirable chapters, carefully reviewed the history
of this nation, frOm a religious point of view, and thus
notices the physical condition of the population of England,
the character of the population. God's education of England
for colonial empire, the providential removal of the dangers
of annexation to foreign dominion, deliverance from the
dangers of invasion, and other points beating on those por-
tions of the history of the country, in which the hand of
Providence may be traced.

Hymns for the Church of England. Longman, Green,

Longman. and Co.

This is a new edition of a volume of hymns, selected with
much care, and well adapted for use in the service of the
Church of England. The great object of the edition appears
to have been to keep the book of hymns in accordance with
the grave tone of holy scripture and the Buok of Common
Prayer, and in this view several hymns, which are held as
great favourites in most congregations, have been omitted
from the volume on account of the familiar and frequently
irreverent manner in which the attributes and feelings of
the Petty, and the highest and noblest sentiments of religion
are referred to. Several hymns likewise which were in the
earlier volume have been omitted, and some new ones added
to the collection.
