ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM.
REPOM by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to
:17 ieneral Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver-
. ".t, UPOrt the 14th November, 1845.
,_9lll increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of Inver-
•;Tellnand the obligation upon the local authorities, to confine at the
of the pArish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously
e„._sittleted"; compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and
;r5 from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly,
~_ re Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1843, the project
;.. submitted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford
11reitellt of the Institution to all the northern counties, standing,
• 1,:41. IY did, under circumstances of equal necessity Committee
rz, APPointed to Solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general
th 47. They commenced their duties ; but circumstances for tome
th ere adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost
ye outset of their labours, one of their. most influential, zealous,
.alued members, by the sudden death of Mr. Fraser, of Newton.
1e,71,i13" alive to the true benevolence of the undertaking, he was
to"'lg it the liberal assistance of his example and of his energies -up
mr„,‘":e Period of his death ; and that melancholy event naturally
, for a time, the exertions of those associated with him in the
It annittee. Thus the project remained in temporary abeyance. But
80:teented soon evident that unless active measures were again re-
ts;ii,sed to, there could be no reasonable anticipation of a successful
e„,,_.`• A public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was
.11 accordingly, upon the 10th day of December, 1844, and the
tiTemrlty of an immediate canvass was admitted, and pressed upon
flat 'eting Committee. They undertook the task. The funds at that
uncounted to 1,5001., and to-day they stand on the list as 4,7001.
,This sum is almost entirely the result of private contribution ; for
seriy,One parish, that of Dornoch, in Sutherland, has entered a sub-
-4`,1°,1; and only one public body, the Caledonian Bank of Inver-
Itit3 given a contribution ;—the parish of Dornoch has taken one
hundred'oeof 211. ; the Caledonian Bank has given a subscription of one
guineas. Apart, indeed, from these two sums, the contri-
Th pations have been entirely from the hand of private benevolence.
town and neighbourhood of Inverness have given most liberally,
c Many of the districts of the county with an equal hand. Under
itZ trifling exceptions, the Committee have, as yet, been prevented
.63, Prosecuting their solicitations throughout the northern counties.
ern,"o, however, of the most influential proprietors of the north are
4th
the contributors ; and this circumstance warrants the hope
4 the canvass which is to be immediately commenced may be sue-
11'1.. The Committee, through two of their number, have applied
;14oscriptions in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and
tg..211, confining, unless in one or two instances, their applicatioe to
10711. connected by birth, or profession, or trade, with the northern
tiee• They regret to say that they failed in many quarters
where they had the best reason to anticipate success ; but, again,
fiVi were instances where the claim of enlaed benevolnce, aart
anY local feeling, was willingly admitted.rg Theree were inpdi-
• oats who appeared to consider it a privilege to have an opportunity
Contributing to an object tending so obviously to alleviate the
such, then, is the amount of the realised funds, and such is the
h3tee from which they have been to a very considerable degree de-
-1,2(1. The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub-
hers their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably
Otented. An important addition may be reasonably anticipated
the northern counties, and the resnit of an influential communi-
D.Oll with India may be looked for with confidence. in closing this
j-rt of the subject, the Committee ave to mention that,whilst
All don, they had the advantage Of communicating with the Lord
himself
upon the proposed scheme ;—that his Lordship became
a subscriber, and that he obtained for the Institution the
u• eet of the royal patronage. . It is hoped that.such royal. counte
may be the means of assisting the subscription in directions
costs otherwise it might not have penetrated. In any event, it
the undertaking undertaking with an additional interest and importance, and
.....,14Ailtees to the public an efficient constitution and management
ftehquirlng as it does that that constitution shall receive the approval
e, ,e high officers of the Crown.
Committee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best
q„"eo as to the site of -the proposed Institution. They have re-
il.;ested the assistance of Dr. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman
1:t in the treatment of the insane, and- whose opinions were ma-
tiZ during an extensive continental tour amongst similar institu-
b,u,, preparatory to the erection of Murray's Asylum, in the neigh-
ati)P, 's God of Perth, with which he has been from its erection, and
t" intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible—one
he Property of Mr. Baillie, the proprietor of Culduthel ; another
that of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of
h°4l,th, on the estate of Inshes ; and a fourth on the lands of
'gleam', the property of Mr. Baithe, of Dochfour. With the first
lit,„uelle, proprietors, Mr. Baillie, of Culduthel, the Committee have
qui " communication ; but the terms of feu demanded by him are
te
„-e.practicable, and therefore the site upon his property adjoin-
tuq 'le Quarry, an close to the marsh with the Raigmore lands, is
kr. °I the question.d The Committee have also communicated with
t L/lackintosh, but without any result—that gentleman requiring

thin these circumstances of realised funds and anticipated increase,
• -,olinty Committee have considered themselves requir to dlay
her the commencement of the Institution. The necessitye for
t erection is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The num-
ei; c't lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every
say increasing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must
irTemsarily add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which
lerrtei, ot accommodations compelled to the humanity of providing
exent for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no
assistance towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent
the Obligation upon parishes, the more important to them should be
erection of a local and inexpensive Institution, such as that pro-
-1q7,7* This is obvious, and will undoubtedly force itself upon the
The of all such burdened parishes.
kire Committee, impressed with these important considerations,
Hitt their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest
er't, 'without any delay, the necessary steps should be taken for the
4'Jlisation of the Asylum.

most efficiently assisted the canvass ; and in on t
k",e beneficial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr.

hrierted, for the liberality with which he uniformly admitted the

yEARLY_ ACCOUTNS!
The present year is very nearly ended,
And folks begin to count what they've expended.
Yes, ere another year its course commences,
It is a rule to calculate expenses.
Then don't omit, when making up accounts,
And noting down your several amounts,
To number in the year, before it closes,
The many savings you have made by MOSES.
Take pen in hand, and calculate aright,
And put your estimates in black and white ;
And doubtless you will find in this event
You've sav'd enough to pay a quarter's rent.
Remember what you've sav'd in Spring attire,
And Summer dresses, too, which all admire ;
Remember, too, your garments for the Autumn,
And don't forget your savings when yon bought 'em
Remember what your Winter dresses cost,
And recollect the sums you would have lost.
Take all these various things into account,
And highly pleas'd you'll be with the amount ;
And you'll determine that, when this year closed,
You'll deal another year with Messrs. MOSES
