great pleasure to be able to state, that an in

manner in which the two buildings designed
for the accommodation OF the Insane, one for
males and the other females, are constructed
is judiciously contrived TO ensure the safety
and comfort of the afflicted patients. And the
concerns Of the establishment generally are SO
administered as to fulfil the benevolent nten-

may be satisfactory TO you, Gentlemen, to
