    1. [ENG-SOM] Wm. TURNER , Esq., & the new infirmary. ( 1788 )
    2. >From Felix Farley's Bristol Journal ( Bristol, England ), Saturday, June 28, 1788; Issue 2070. The foundation Stone of the Centre Building of our new infirmary was laid on Tuesday last, when William TURNER , Esq., of Belmont, Somerset, nobly presented One Thousand Pounds to the Treasurer, towards completing the benevolent design. - May the opulent of our city and neighbourhood speedily follow so humane and liberal an example ! and thereby prevent the capital stock of this excellent charity from being diminished, which otherwise must be the case, before the building can be completed :- This would be a circumstance greatly to be lamented, as the increased size of the Hospital, will require a great increase of income to support it, and the annual subscriptions for that purpose being extremely precarious, its permanent fund should be preserved as inviolate as possible. This can only be done by the voluntary contributions of the public, and these we doubt not will prove fully adequate to the necessity of the case, when it is made generally known, that such necessity really exists.
