' SPECIAL APPEAL. FOR FUNDS FOR THE ENLARGE-
'
MENT OF THE SOCIETY'S HOUSE, PERCY-PLACE,
DUBLIN.
Much success having attended the system for many years
past in operation at the Society's House (which is used as a
Training School for the Elder Orphans, and an Apprentice
Depth), the Committee (as alludedlo in the Reports for the
years 1851 and 1852) determined upon enlarging the Houses
so as to afford accommodation for a considerable increase in
the number of Orphans.
To carry this into effect a neirWing is in course of erec-
tion, with other improvements: and it is the wish of the
Committee, and of several kind friends of the institution, that
the expense shall not tall in any great• degree on the regtdar
income of the Society (required for the support of Four lirm-
