Pennsylvania and Lying-in Hospita !.
The history of this eminent institution is too well known to need particular notice here. It may however be observed, that the plan was first suggested by Dr. Thomas Bond, and it was founded by individual philanthropy in 1752. In 1774, it lost, by the deprecia- tion of continental money, about ten thousand pounds, nearly one- half of its productive estate .- Subscriptions were, however, solicit- ed, and by the united exertions of the managers successively em - ployed, and the receipt of some legislative aid it has at length arrived at its present eminence.
