    B R U NT O N HOUSE, LANCASTER. THE ROYAL ALBERT ASYLUM having been established for the benefit of all classes of the Feeble-minded, the Central Committee have purchased the Quarry Hill property—comprising a block of Houses, with extensive grounds charmingly laid out in Tennis Lawns, Ornamental Plantations, Gardens, &c.—as a HOME FOR SPECIAL PRIVATE PUPILS attending the Schools and other Occupations at the Institution. BRUNTON HOUSE is in a most salubrious situation and the grounds command fine views of the Lake Mountains, Morecambe Bay, the Estuary of the Lune, and of the surrounding country, which is beautifully varied in scenery. Though quite detached, it is in convenient proximity to the Asylum Estate, consisting of 185 acres ; and is under the same medical and general adminis¬ tration as the Asylum, with which it has telephonic connection. The object is to combine, for PRIVATE PUPILS paying remunerative rates the seclusion and comforts of a Private Residence with the hygienic, educational and training resources of a Public Institution under responsible management. Information as to terms, may be had from JAMES DIGGENS, Principal. The Royal Albert Asylum, Lancaster.
