First Edition of this account of the Foundling Hospital of London, incorporated by royal charter in 1739 "for the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children". Brownlow concentrates on the early connection between the hospital and the leading painters of the reign of George II. The annual exhibitions of pictures held there, which were organized by the Dilettanti Club, eventually led to the formation of the Royal Academy in 1768. Hogarth was one of the constituent members of the hospital, to which he and his contemporaries made numerous donations in paintings and sculptures. The present work contains an annotated catalogue of the donated art-works and biographical sketches of the artists, as well as a memoir of the founder of the hospital, philanthropist Thomas Coram, together with some of his memorials, including his proposal in 1735 for settling unemployed artisans in Nova Scotia.
