Thomas Coram's Foundling Hospital was opened in London in 1741 for 'the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children'. John Brownlow (1800-73), himself a foundling, became secretary of the hospital from 1849 until his retirement. This 1858 account complements his 1847 Chronicles (also reissued in this series).
