    520 most truly valuable aid and advice, and whose un- ceasing attention to the duties of their office enabled me to furnish these minute details to my professional brethren. The Dublin Lying-in Hospital, which with its appendages form the south side of Rutland Square, is one of the noblest monuments ever erected to charity by an individual never possessed of much wealth. The magnificent bequests of Guy in London, and Herriott in Edinburgh, effected in their respective capitals what our countryman Doctor Bartholomew Moss accomplished by genius and zeal so far as I know unprecedented. With great pleasure, therefore, I take advantage of this opportunity of recording my admiration of the founder of a charity, which, in the last 77 years, has afforded relief to one hundred and thirty-one thousand one hundred and seventy-two poor women, and proved highly beneficial to the rich, by affording so vast a school of experience to students anxious to obtain j^ractical knowledge.
