The English Hospital at Constantinople, is a good one, and situate near the Tower of Calata, overlooking the ancient Chalcedon, the modern Kadeköui, the ancient Byantrum, the modern Stamboul, with its elegant minarets, and well proportioned mosques; in the distance is the snow-clad Olympus, and within a few hundred yards, the Golden Horn, crowded with ships from all parts of the Globe. What a magnificent site, as far as view is concerned, would this offer for a hospital for the insane. But the ground is too valuable to afford any opportunity to enclose proper courts for exercise, and gardens for occupation.
