From its inauguration nearly fifty years ago, by the late distinguished physician, Dr. Frederick Foster Quin, under the auspices of royal and personal friends, and by the wise guidance of the late president, the Lord Ebury, and the able administration of the late chairman, Major William Vaughan Morgan, this hospital has continually progressed until, at the present time, its supporters contemplate with a feeling of just pride a newly-built and greatly enlarged hospital, calculated to effect an extended and widespread work amongst the suffering poor; worthy, it is felt, of illustrating, among the most useful and progressive hospitals of the metropolis, that true development in medical science can be best promoted by the recognition of new truths and tested principles. "That the medical exponents and the lay adherents of those principles are animated by the greatest readiness to join in real scientific progress is, it is thought, demonstrated by the erection of the building submitted this day to the inspection of your Royal Highness, for it embodies, as a consequence of the mature advice of the medical staff, every proved invention which modern ingenuity has devised for the sanitary.scientific and successful treatment and nursing of the sick poor. We earnestly trust that the new hospital, with the facilities it affords for widespread medical work, may greatly tend to enlarge the area of medical science, and have a material effect in promoting real and free union in the medical profession. "When the present yearly average number of 700 in-patients shall have become more than a thousand, ard the yearly average number of 10,000 out-patients shall have become more than 30,000-and the capacity of the hospital will easily admit of such increased results-we shall look back with increased pride on this day, when your Royal Highness will have declared open a building, the site, erection, and furnishing of which have cost some £45,000, a sum provided by the generosity of friends of a reformed practice in medicine, headed by the munificent gift of £10,000 from A Friend well known to the Hospital.' The presence of your Royal Highness on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of this building when you were graciously pleased to perform that act, and of opening it for the reception of the needy sick, for whose benefit it has been provided, will always be remembered, not only as a distinguished honor but also as crowning the enterprise which has throughout been a work of love, alike to the authorities of the London Homœopathic Hospital, the medical staff and the numerous donors, who have all had in view the good of the poor and the progress of a great cause.' After this a portion of scripture was read by the chaplain of the hospital, the Rev. Dacre Craven, rector of St. George the Martyr. The anthem "Except the Lord build the House," was excellently rendered by Misses Louise Burns and Annie Stanyon and Messers Hulbert Fulkerson and Baring Ranalow. The Right Reverend the Bishop of Stepney offered prayers which were followed by the singing of a hymn by the assembled company, and in which Her Royal Highness the Duchess heartily joined. The architect, Mr. William Alfred Pite, E. R. I. B. A., presented to the Duchess a key of the hospital, and her Royal Highness then declared the building open in the following words: "I have great pleasure in declaring this hospital open, especially as it is a memorial of two friends no longer with usDr. Quin, the founder of the hospital who was a kind friend of mine, and Lord Ebury, who was present with us on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of this building. heartily join with you in the hope that the present number of 700 inpatients may become more than a thousand, and the 10,000 out-patients more than 30,000." I Purses of £5 5s. each were presented to the Princess by a large number of children, present and former patients of the hospital and children of visitors and subscribers to the institution. The Bishop of Stepney pronounced the benediction, and then Her Royal Highness proceeded to make an inspection of the building, after which tea was served in the "Quin Ward," and Her Royal Highness received a hearty ovation. on leaving the hospital. Their was a very large attendance of subscribers and friends at the opening ceremony. All the visitors were invited to go over the hospital, and a cheery scene the wards presented, decorated as they were with the wealth of summer bloom. The children's wards were especially attractive, and in one of them the little patients who had presented purses were having tea.-Monthly Homœopathic Review.
