A Woman’s Journey Round the World

CHAPTER XI
21/50

It is here that all kinds of meetings are held, all speculations and undertakings discussed, and concerts, balls, and other entertainments given.
The Hospital consists of several small houses, each standing in the midst of a grass plot.

The male patients are lodged in one house, the females and children in a second, while the lunatics are confined in the third.

The wards were spacious, airy, and excessively clean.

Only Christians are received as patients.
The hospital for natives is similar, but considerably smaller.

The patients are received for nothing, and numbers who cannot be accommodated in the building itself are supplied with drugs and medicines.
The Museum, which was only founded in 1836, possesses, considering the short space of time that has elapsed since its establishment, a very rich collection, particularly of quadrupeds and skeletons, but there are very few specimens of insects, and most of those are injured.
