In order to familiarize the Governors with the general arrangements of the Institution, the Routine of the Ordinary and Periodical business of the Boards, and a list of the Official Books in use, are published with this Report. The whole machinery of the Management, hitherto imperfectly seen in all its parts and bearings, will thus be made intelligible; and a regularity of pro¬ ceeding is ensured, which will not allow of the inadvertent neglect of any fixed provision or arrangement. Among the Benefactions lately made to this Institution by benevolent individuals, must be announced the munificent sum of £500 from some unknown friend of humanity, who may rest well assured that the means, so nobly placed at the disposal of the Board, shall not be unemployed or misapplied. April, 1839. R. ELMHIRST, Chairman.
