RESTORATION 
OF THE 
HOSPITIUM OF ST. MARY’S ABBEY, 
AND 
PROMOTION OF THE FINE ARTS IN YORK. 
We whose names are undersigned, being desirous of promoting the 
^ine Arts in York, by providing a suitable building for the Exhibition 
■of Pictures and Sculpture; and being satisfied that the Hospitium of 
St. Mary’s Abbey, now in great disrepair, would, if restored, afford 
sample accommodation for this and other useful public objects;—do 
engage to subscribe the sums placed opposite our respective names, for 
the purpose of enabling the Yorkshire Philosophical Society to restore 
that building; on the understanding that, for Public Exhibitions of 
Pictures and Sculpture, under the direction of a body of Subscribers in 
Yorkshire, the use of the rooms shall be freely granted, without charge, 
except during any Meeting in York of the British Association for the 
Advancement of Science.
