    could not be generated so rapidly as required, you, therefore, sanctioned a new chimney being built, and no difficulty on that score has since arisen. During the past year, Mr. H. Graves, of Pall-Mall, kindly presented to the Asylum—upon the application of the Rev. P. T. Ouvry—twenty engravings. These have been framed and mounted, and are now orna¬ menting the walls of some of the galleries. The “Society for Distributing Scripture Truth” also sent us a quantity of “ Cards, Rolls, and Hand¬ books of Scripture Truths and Prayers,” which have proved very acceptable. The Commissioners in Lunacy, on their visit in 1863, suggested that the Committee of Visitors should sanction the temporary absence of some of the Patients on a visit to their friends; this has been done, and per¬ mission granted in several instances for periods varying from one to seven days. To the Committee I beg to express my thanks, for the unvarying kindness and consideration with which they have received any sug¬ gestions I have thought it my duty to offer. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, J. HUMPHRY.
