He is neither cold nor trifling; he is always grave and earnest. He spares no pains to compel his readers to understand and to realise what he designs to communicate. His reason, his imagination, and his passions are all in vigorous action, and his manner is perhaps adapted to a coming state of thought and taste in regard to what preaching should be. Certainly these are very able discourses of their kind.—British Quarterly Review. London: JUDD & GLASS, New Bridge Street and Gray's Inn Road. 4 THE ECLECTIC MONTHLY ADVERTISER.

ESTABLISHED 1856. 5 THIS Institution has great difficulty in keeping open its doors for relief of the large number of Sick and Destitute Poor who daily apply for medical assistance and advice. The Hospital is situated near to the termini of the Great Northern and NorthWestern Railways, to the New Cattle Market, the Imperial Gas Works, and the Regent's Canal, and in the centre of a dense population, notoriously populous and poor, whose increasing demands are far beyond the means at the disposal of the Committee. To be of real service to the poor, medical aid must be within a reasonable distance of their dwellings.-This is the nearest Hospital to 100,000 of a very poor labouring population. 109,660 Cases were relieved in two years, and nearly 800 are relieved every week. The Hospital is free to all sick and destitute persons, without any recommendation. Accidents and urgent cases are admitted at all hours, day and night, and no delay takes place in the treatment of such cases immediately on admission. Attendance is provided for really poor and necessitous women during confinement, at their own homes. The Hospital being entirely dependent on voluntary contributions, which are in their nature fluctuating, whilst the outgoings, however carefully dispensed, are steady and increasing, the Committee are compelled to make an earnest appeal to the Public for adequate support of an Institution, which has become in the comparatively short space of three years of very great importance to its neighbourhood." For want of the necessary means, however, the Hospital cannot be kept up in such manner as its usefulness merits, and although liberally and gratuitously aided, and supported by a most skilful medical staff, still the absolutely necessary expenses of such heavy and growing claims have within the last year caused the expenditure greatly to exceed the income. The Committee confidently believe that this condition of a Charity which has rapidly become so indispensable to the sick and suffering poor, requires only to be made known to that large portion of the Public blessed by providence equally with the means and the will to help their less fortunate fellow-creatures, in order to insure such a degree of support as will justify the Committee in continuing their efforts to maintain the Hospital in the required state of efficiency. A Donation of Ten Guineas constitutes a Life Governor, and an annual Subscription of One Guinea a Governor. Contributions will be thankfully received by Messrs. HANBURY'S and LLOYD'S, 60 Lombard-street; Messrs. RANSOM, BOUVERIE, and Co., 1 Pall Mall East; the Honorary Secretary, F. SMITH, Esq., 19 Essex-street, Strand; and by the Secretary, Mr. JOHN HEALEY, 43 Bedford-row, W.C., from whom Reports and every necessary information may be obtained. |
