Hospital was instituted in the year 1719, and is the oldest hospital in
England supported by voluntary contributions. The high prices of provisions

bills to Christmas last. 16,000 persons are relieved annually, and the
doors of the Hospital are open night and day for the reception of cases of
accident and urgent disease. The Committee earnestly entreat the aid of the
benevolent at the present time.
Donations and subscriptions will be thankfully received by MESSRS. BOUVERIE
& CO., 11. Haymarket; MESSRS. HOARE & CO., Fleet Street; by the HON. P.
PLEYDELL BOUVERIE, and P. R. HOARE, ESQ., the joint Treasurers; or by the
