It must excite no small degree of surprise and regret , that for tlie children of a numerous class of our fellow subjects there is not , if we except Christ Hospital and the Schools of this Corporation , any fit or appropriate Asylum where the Children of Parents once in prosperity ( of the Clergyman , the Solicitor , the Naval or Military Officer , or the Merchant ) , whether Orphans or npt , and from every Nation , can obtain a Religious Education , Clothing , and a Home , till , by the blessing of the Almighty , they may be enabled not only to avoid sinking into the gulph of pauperism , but become
useful members of society , and ornaments to their country . So laudable an Institution surely cannot fail to obtain the warm approbation and the best wishes of every reflecting and benevolent member of the community . On what portion of our fellow-creatures can the bounty of the wealthy and respectable classes of society be more appropriately and beneficially conferred , than on the helpless and unoffending offspring of the numerous individuals who have been visited by rdv-rsity and crushed by poverty ? How often , in this age of competition and
enterrrise has the Merchant , the Manufacturer , tlie Trader , the Agriculturist , notwithstanding the utmost exertion of talent and industry , been reduced to the privations and the hardships attendant on the failure of his reasonable calculations ! And what greater solace can be offered to the mind of a father or a mother , under such melancholy circumstances , than the cheering reflection that their destitute Children may find an Asylum in an Institution where , protected from pauperism , and from constant exposure to vicious example , they may in some degree obtain those advantages which their unfortunate parents have no longer the means of bestowing . For such an Institution , assistance is most respectfully and earnestly solicited .
FORM OF BEQUEST .

" N . B . Devises of land , or bequests of money charged on land , are void by the Statute of Mortmain ; but money or stock may be given by will , the same not being directed to be laid out .
