of the sufferers relieved
by her bounty,
this humble Memorial
of one of her noble actions
is presented to

the Hospital for Consumption,
at Brompton, London,
as a slight token of their esteem and gratitude,
and in commemoration of
the Concert

rivalled talents, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-
