'From March 25, 1741, to December 31, 1759, the number of children
received into the Foundling Hospital is 14,994, of which have died
to December 31, 1759, 8,465.'--_A Tour through the Whole Island of
Great Britain_, ed. 1769, vol. ii, p. 121. A great many of these died,

of the British Museum 1773, Principal Librarian 1799-1827. See Edwards'

and his fellows are resolved to be Unitarians; they are for one article
of faith as well as One person in the Godhead.'
