The origin of the above Society was comparatively small; but fortunately obtaining at an early period the Patronage of their Royal Highnesses the DUKES of KENT and SUSSEX, its increase has been rapid; and in the space of a few years has been enabled, from small contributions at its regular Meetings, and the occasional Donations and Subscriptions of the Benevolent, to expend upwards of ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS AMONG THE VICTIMS OF WANT, exclusive of having presentations to Mid- dlesex Hospital, Union School, Tottenham Street, St. Marylebone School of Industry, and those National Monuments of Philanthropy, the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, Kent Road, and Indigent Blind, St. George's Fields. The Committee respectfully, but confidently, appeal to the Humane for their support on this occasion.
