    TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE DUNDEE ROYAL ASYLUM FOR LUNATICS, FOR THE YEAR ENDING 17TH JUNE 1844. The Directors have much pleasure in again meeting their constituents, to be able to assure them of the continued use¬ fulness and prosperity of the Institution which has been com¬ mitted to their charge. Its character, however, is so generally known, that they do not feel it necessary to dilate on that subject; but, in accordance with the plan adopted in their i last Report, they will confine themselves to a short statement l of their transactions for the past year. The Directors must, at the outset, bespeak the indulgence of their constituents for the shortness of their Report. The Is past year has not been distinguished by any occurrence of great importance,—the occurrences of one day have been nearly an epitome of those of the year. It is impossible therefore to impart anything like novelty to a subject which, in its essential features, has been the same for many years past; the Directors, however, beg to say, that the difficulty T of finding anything to remark upon is a convincing proof that the daily duties of the Institution are performed in a satis- t factory manner.
