THE 



SOUTH DEVON AND EAST CORNWALL 

 HOSPITAL, 



AND 



PLYMOUTH PUBLIC DISPENSARY. 



We this month present our readers with a view of 

 the Hospital and Dispensary, now erecting in Sussex 

 Place, Notte Street, Plymouth. The construction 

 of the central part alone, is in the first instance con- 

 templated, with the hope, that, ere long, the means 

 for adding the wing compartments will not be want- 

 ing. With this addition in view, as a matter of 

 certainty, the main building has been designed, but 

 it has still been the architect's care to make the 

 latter as perfect in itself as possible, so that during 

 the postponement of subsequent provision, present 

 purposes may be sufficiently answered. 



Before we describe the details of the design, it 

 may be expected that we should give an outline of 

 the origin and progress of the Institution, which we 

 shall beg to transcribe from the appendix to the 

 Rev. S. Rowe's sermon, preached on the occasion of 

 laying the foundation stone, and since printed at 

 the request of the governors and subscribers in aid 

 of the funds.
