recovering perfons who, through fuffocation, 
gold, or drowning, might feem dead; and to 
recommend the general duties of philan- 
chropy, efpecialfy tothofe who fuffer through 
fhipwreck. Adifcuflion then took place on 
the propriety of forming an inftirution on 
the ealtern coaft, on the fame principle as 
the Humane Society of London, and with a 
more particular reference to the fituation of 
perfons thipwrecked. it was unanimoufly 
agreed that fucha fociety ‘is highly expe- 
dient, and that each perfon prefént would 
ufe his beft endeavours for its promotion. 
From the candour, liberality, and genuine 
fpirit of phitanthropy which pervaded every 
perfon prefent, and from the approbation the 
meafure bas fubfequently received, the 
warmeft hopes are cherifhed that diffufing a 
knowledge of the means for recovering 
drowned perfons, and infpiring a defire of 
ailifting thofe reduced to diftrefs by fhip- 
wreck, will meet with the fupport of the- 
liberal on the coat, and the affiitance of the 
benevolent in the interior of the kingdom.
