Aloof from the mercantile and fashionable world, on the thirteen acres and one rod of land which Sir Walter de Manny devoted to the pious purpose of inter ring the bodies of the dead, stands the Hospital of King James, the bountiful work of one individual, the ever memorable thomas sutton.

For a time has this spot, endeared to the recollection of so many, been without a Chronicler, to point out its eventful history to those who are now sharing the benefits of its protection, or to awaken in the breasts of those who have gone forth from its walls, the kindly feelings with which all are apt to contemplate the place where their early years have been Spent.
