And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we be,g
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
to learn your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be
kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on

DIVISION OF PROFITS.
The success and Increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled
the Directors, at the last animal investigation, to declare a third
Bonus, varying from 30 to 74 'per cent. on the premiums paid on
each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties •f Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in estate of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam.
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.
To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fluid for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary finds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen..
The rulee4br Ittir government of-the Institution will be of course de.;
termined'at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
centrol and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,
(Signed) W. H. COLQUHOUN.
