hop'd that some Provision might be made for such
as were deemed Incurable and at the same time
dangerous to the Public. But the great Influx of
Insane Persons from all parts of the Kingdom into the
Hospital frustrated these Expectations and gave
reason to suppose that few if any of its numerous
Apartments would at any time be Vacant It was
therefore formd necessary to enlarge the Building
a Particular Subscription was set on Foot for the
Purpose and in the Year 1734 two Wings were
Added to the Hospital This Addition of Room has

Wishes of the Publicand there are now maintained
One Hundred Incurable Patients fifty of each
Six who enjoy every Advantage which their deplorable
State can admit The number of Patients in the
House who are supposed capable of being relieved
from the most dreadful of all human Maladies
