Library. The Subscription to Mudie’s, for the use of the Household, not having been found to be attended with corresponding’ ad¬ vantage, it has been considered advisable to recur to the former system of purchasing out of the Library Grant, a stock of Books for the permanent reading of the Household and Patients. A considerable number of Prayer and Hymn Books have, in the present year, been furnished for the use of the Patients. The regular manner in which they are brought, by the more intelligent, into Chapel, and the good use made of them during Service, are satisfactory proofs that the loan of these Books is highly valued. The Chaplain ventures to hope that the foregoing remarks, at the close of another year of duty, may have some interest for the Visitors of the Asylum.
