This Volume forms the Sixth Annual Issue of BURDETT'S HOSPITAL AND 

 CHARITIES ANNUAL. Very strenuous efforts have been made to render the 

 information contained therein absolutely correct. The particulars given in every 

 Section, as well as those which deal with individual Institutions, have been made 

 uniform throughout. No one need now refer to THE ANNUAL without finding in 

 its pages, on all the essential points, the desired information. It contains informa- 

 tion concerning Hospitals, Asylums, Nursing Institutions, and Charities generally, 

 not only in Great Britain and Ireland, but throughout the British Empire, India, 

 and the United States of America. Members of committees, practitioners of 

 medicine, trustees, and others with estates to administer, and the supporters and 

 officials of all Institutions find it indispensable as a reliable book of reference ; 

 it being widely acknowledged that, as such, it is without a rival for completeness of 

 detail and accuracy of information. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" Requires no more than the name of its editor to warrant that a subject of 

 great and growing importance is dealt with in a thoroughly satisfactory manner." — 

 The Times. 



" The standard work of reference upon all points which relate to charities." — 

 Daily Telegraph. 



"Among the many works of reference which we owe to the indefatigable Mr. 

 Henry C. Burdett, not the least useful is his ' Hospital and Charities Annual,' the 

 volume of which for 1895 has been issued by the Scientific Tress. It is a bulky 

 volume of over 800 pages, and is crammed full of facts and figures. The first 

 portion of the work is devoted to an examination of how much of the money given 

 in charity is raised and spent, and contains many remarks which subscribers would 

 do well to ponder. . . . The facts must have been got together at great labour and 

 cost, and there is no work we know of that for fulness and variety of information on 

 the subject with which it deals can at all compare with it." — Westminster Gazette. 



"This book tells us more about hospital work, medical colleges, etc., than any 

 book we have ever seen in print. It contains more matter, more figures, more 

 correct data that people know nothing of, than any book ever written." — New York 

 Medical Journal.
