'E- GOVERNORS of the LONDON HOS-
Tt AL find themselves called upon to interest the
Public in general in favour or. this meritorious Lstdolish-
: tnent of Charity, and hope to experience, the liberal support
which the Cause of the Poor and Affiitted requires at this

the Hospital is a spacious an convenient Building, well
adapted to tulfil the intention of the benevolent Founders,
containing Eighteen. Wards, capable of receiving neatly Four
Huntired 'Patients only Seven Wards.can be opened, on'ac-
count of the low state of the Funds of the House.

.--
From the Reports the Physicians and Surgeons it appears
that on every day aphointed. for -he admission of Fatients,
numbers of distressed Ohjedts apply, .whom the Attending
Committee are ooliged to rert,, ; tney can selcd only the
most urgent cas,s—forty-nine miserable Persons were. sent
away in the last week only— nt titese many must sink-pre-
maturely vidims to the Sickness or Disease under which they
labwa
•. This Institution is situated in the midst of a most popu-
lous Neighbourhood, in which the Poor are very numerous,
and opulent Residents but few ; on a -high road of great-
traffic. ; and in the district of the Sca-taring part of the Corn-
munitv, where al dlicatiOris for Relief in their many Casual-
ties zie continual ; and most partiCularly require and deserve
attention and assistance. ~Unfoitttnate Sufferers are received
at any hour of the day or night without other recomtnenda.
-tion thati their necessity and.diarress. The interior arrange-
'merit is conduelal on the roost humane -and, jtidicious plan.
The additional Expellee of-opehing ALL the Wards, which
would be • produeliv.e. of ,such .incalculable benefits to the
Poor, and 'advantage to the Public, will be small, compared
with that attending any new Institution. The Building, is
complete ; the sever,l Officers and Attendants are 'appoint.:
ed ; and except in. toe particular of Maintenance, little more
than the present Expences will be incurred by the Relief of
nearly zso additional Patients. 1,
The Public at large benefits greatly from these, useful
.Establishments. They are the principal schools for the for-
,MatiOrt of Surgeons, and the best for Medical Praditioners,
so necessary to the Army and Na-vy,' where the want of a suf-
ficient nuenber Of Ski !fiat and well-practised P rotesors ha.;
long,been severely felt. . •
When the Governor's retied on the advantages to be
by an assistance sufficient for the Permanent Endowment
of this Charity, and consider the generous compassion pre.
valent in all classes, they fe-d a confilence that every lndi-
victim', and many Public Bodies will lie happy to contribute
in their degr,..: to ;this pious and- useful work, and that the
Metiopolis will hold forth, on this,
.as on so many other oc-
casions, a glorious example of usetul bedeficerice.
Every Benetanion, it.,wever small the amount, will be
most thankfully at.a.;lpted for the Hospital..

By DAVID BREWSTER, A.. M...•
- The. Second Edition, corrected and enlarged.
Two Vols. Bvo. with a Volume Of. Plates, if. ss;
• The following Commendations of the First Edition of this
Work are respectively submitted to the.-Pubiice
"Mr. Brewster's Appendix contains much useful informa-
tion, under, the diffi:rent Heads of Mechanics, Bydraulics,
Optics,. Dialing, and Astronomy. Nearly 100 pages are de-
voted
to the subject of Water-mitts • and Wind-mills, in
Ayhich many of Mr. Brewster's rules and observations cannot
fail to be beneficial to the Mill-wright.'
" There are three articles in this A ppendix which it would
be unjust not to mention with commendation : . they treat of
the Steam Engine, the method
.of-grindiog and polishing
Lenses, and .the method of casting, grinding, and polishing
the Mirrors of Refieding Teleicopes, The description of
Watt's Steam Engine, though concise, it very perspicuous :
the engraved representation of this Steam Engine, with. the
latestiroprovernentse will be found highly useful,-and con-
veys a better idea of the Engine, as a whole, than .any • thing
We have yet met with.
"Altogether .this Work maybe safely recommended as
presenting many iudicions and useful additions to a Book of
establiShed reputation."— Literary journal, March,,tBo6.
" It being needless for us to describe or to examine the
subject of those LeCtures, we shall confine our. observa-
tions merely •to the new'parts of .his-Publication, the Notes,
and: the id. ppendix. . • .
" The Tract on the Formation of the Teetlieof Wheels,
must proVe very useful' to the pradical -Mechanic. The
mechanical, as well as geometrical, description of the curves
proper for the shapes of the teeth of wheels, are clearly shewn
in tins tract, and the rules are exemplified by proper figures.
In the dissertation on Carliage Wheels, this AuthOr princi-
pally treats of the formation and position of the. Whee ls, of
the line of traction, and of themethod of disposing the load ;
but those divisions are accompanied with much collateral in-
formation, some new ideas, and very clear illustrations."
"- Mr. Brewster describes very minutely Mr. Watt's latest
and most approved Steam .Engine, in all its parts, with proper
references to the figures. The mode of calculating the power
.Of.;.a Steam Engine, .and.of comparitag it' with the power of
horses, with which Mr..,l3rewster concludes this dissertation,
is peculiarly clear and satisfadory.
" Thus we have taken a comprehensive view of the additions
-made by the Editor, to the present EditiOn of Ferguson's
Lectures, and have briefly. expressed Qtir opinion respecting
their merit. -, We may, noon the whole, add, that they,no-
(imitate:fly render the work much more valuable, and much
more useful to the practical Mechanic, as well as to the sci-
entific reader. -As such, .therefore, we may confidently re-.
commend it to the patronage of the Public."—British Critic,
May, t 9.46.
