Bedlam - This hospital is destined for lunatics, &c.—It is one of the largest edifices in the capital, and is situate in Moorfields.  Two figures representing melancholy and raving madness, adorn the pediment of the principal gate.—They are of admirable sculpture, and do honour to Cibber the statuary, whose chissel produced them.

This magnificent edifice was built in 15 months, and cost £17,000—It is 540 feet long by 40 broad and contains a great number of convenient cells for its unfortunate inhabitants, who are maintained there without any charge to their friends, but the article of bedding.
