SUSSEX COUNTY HOSPITAL and GENERAL SEA

BATHING INFIRMARY, to be opened to the Poor of
ANY COUNTY OR NATION when suffering under

Sickness or casual Injury.
THE COMMITTEE appointed at a Public
Meeting, held under the sanction of the Right Honour-
able the Earl of Egremont, Lord Lieutenant of the 'County,
on the 11th of December, 1824, for the purpose of establishing
a Sussex County Hospital, and General Sea Bathing Infir-
mary, having selected, and been this day authorized to pur-
chase an eligible site for the edifices, feel it incumbent on them
to submit to the Nobility and Gentry of the County, and to the
Public generally, a brief statement relative to the objects pro-
posed to be effected by the establishment of the Institution.
The original object contemplated by the friends of the mea-
sure, was to procure for those among the labouring classes of
the County of Sussex, who might be suffering under sickness
or casual injury, the same means of restoration to health,
which the poor of almost every other county in England, have
long been in the habit of deriving from similar institutions.
With this primary object it is designed to combine the benelitS
of a General Sea-Bathing Infirmary ; and as the Town of
Brighton, by its proximity to the metropolis, by the 'unusual
facilities of approach towards it from all the southern parts of
the kingdom, by the salubrity of its situation, and by the num-
ber and respectability of the medical practitioners connected
with its extensive.population, affords advantages for such an
institution, unattainable in any other town on the Coast ; the
advocates of the Sussex County Hospital would not be dis-
charging their duty to the public, unless by endeavouring to
make these advantages available, as extensively as possible, to
the relief of those thousands among the poor, who suffer from
diseases which can only be effectually alleviated by sea-air and
sea-bathing.
With respect to the funds requisite for attaining these bene-
volent and desirable objects, the Committee have briefly to
state, that the estimated expence for the completion of a build-
ing to contain 611 patients, including the purchase of the
ground, does not exceed 12,000/. ; that the annual-expendi-
ture of such an institution would be about 1,7011.; and that in
such an establishment 500 in-patients, and many hundreds
more than that number of out-patients might be annually ad-
mitted. Towards the purchaie of the land, and the erection of
the edifice, nearly 8,000/.llaye already been subscribed. The
subjoined is the proposed scale of privilege to subscribers, for
the recommendation of patients, subject to the revision of the
Governors; and the Committee submit these remarks to pub-
lic notice, in the full confidence, that the contributions which
are all times liberally afforded to the calls of humanity, will
enable them immediately to proceed with their labours, and to
perfect the work committed to their charge.
