The Royal Infirmary, for the reception of medical and surgical patients, was opened in the month of December, 1794, and contain- ed accommodation for about one hundred and fifty patients.

In 1818, a temporary Fever Hospital was erected at Spring Gar- * In the burials from 1822 till 1835 there were included 6257 still-born, + Of the 9143 burials in 1836 there were 702 still-born.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b33285548_0011.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
