OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



"This useful book of reference, Sir Henry Burdett claims, is the Year Book of Philanthropy, and there is 

 ample evidence in its 1000 pages to support the title, since it gives details of every class of institiuion for the relief 

 and succour of suffering humanity, and describes the various systems of relief which prevail in every part of the 

 English-speaking world. As such it is valuable to charitably-disposed people and to all who have to prepare 

 material relating to hospitals and charities ; and no doubt it will be found specially useful during the present year, 

 when the desire to celebrate in some permanent way the long reign of the Queen has called forth a large number 

 of schemes to benefit the sick and suffering." — The Times. 



"Still remains the standard work of reference upon all points which relate to charities, British, American, 

 and Colonial." — Daily Telegraph. 



"This work cannot be too cordially commended; a copy of it should be within reach of all charitably- 

 disposed people." — Morning Post. 



"The most complete compilation we have met with, since it not only contains such statistics as show at a 

 glance the financial position of, and the work embraced by, each institution, but is withal admirably supplemented 

 by a series of interesting articles directly pertaining to the main subject whereof the volume treats. The book 

 should prove well-nigh indispensable to those of benevolent intent." — St. James's Gazette. 



" Deals with every class of institution for the relief of suffering humanity, and describes the various systems 

 which prevail wherever- hospitals exist." — Financial Times.
