BLUE COAT HOSPITAL.

AMONG the many wise and benevolent Institutions, which have been called into existence, and have been supported by the liberality of the town of Liverpool, the BLUE COAT HOSPITALwhether we regard its objects, its efficiency, or the length of time it has been in operation-claims distinguished attention. It is the oldest Charitable Institution in the town, having been founded in 1708, for clothing and educating 40 boys and 10 girls. The Rev. Robert Styth, one of the Rectors, was the first Treasurer, and continued until his death in 1713; he was succeeded by Bryan Blundell, Esq, who filled that responsible office until his death in 1736.

Notwithstanding the provision made for clothing and educating the children, the plan was still found to be defective; inasmuch as "whilst they were forced to go to their parents for meat, some of whom, not having any to give them, sent them out to beg for it, by which they acquired such habits of idleness, and met with so many diversions, that they either neglected the School, or profited but little by coming; so that, whilst in this state, the means used not being sufficient to the end proposed, nothing more effectual could be devised than raising a fund which would be sufficient to provide them with meat, drink, clothes and lodging, in one entire house, where they would be kept under such discipline, as, by the blessing of God, might produce the desired effect."* Therefore, to complete this object, a liberal subscription was entered into, and on the 3rd of May, 1716, the first stone was laid of that portion of the building which now forms the ancient part of the Hospital, and was erected at an expense of about £2,300, when all the scholars became inmates.

In 1720, application was made to Government for a charter, but the School not being upon a royal foundation, it was refused. In 1726 the number of children was increased to 60, wholly supported and educated at the cost of the charity. In 1739, a decree was obtained from the Duchy Court of Lancaster, by which the School was vested in 50 Trustees, and the objects of the Institution fully defined. In 1742, the number of children was still further augmented, and the complement then fixed was 70. Bryan Blundell, Esq., the great patron of the Institution, whose devotion to the interests of the School ranks him amongst the most distinguished benefactors of Liverpool, made another powerful appeal to the public, which produced £2,000, and enabled the Governors to increase the scholars to 100, of whom 30 were girls.
