	Foundling Asylums
		At the present time many foundling asylums give shelter to orphans, but originally their activity was confined almost entirely to the rescue and care of foundlings in the strict sense, that is, infants who had been deliberately abandoned by their natural protectors.
		The original foundling asylum of Paris seems to have been no longer in existence at this period; for the only institution of this nature that we hear of is the "Maison de la Couche", in charge of a widow and two servants.
		Nevertheless, the foundling asylum should endeavour to ascertain the identity of the parents, to induce the mothers to act as nurses to their infants in the institution, and to keep alive the natural bond between child and parent.

		The house is, of course, the Foundling Museum.
		This is a modest survival of a vast project: several huge wings of institutional classicism overshadowing a spread of fields, eventually demolished when those fields had themselves disappeared under bricks and mortar.
		Nonetheless, the surviving building retains very much a grand feel — its plasterwork ceilings are neck-achingly good — and serves as a reminder of the stately-homeliness of the men who met in its rooms to discuss the futures of younger generations.

		In another scene Georgina taunts Harriet by waving a foundling’s uniform under her nose, and saying that she intends to wear it as a fancy dress.

		N.B. - Nearly all the common fire-places, at the Foundling, have been altered on Count Rumford's plan, and have answered very well; that at the porter's lodge always smoked before it was altered.
		The throat of the chimney, in the fire-places altered at the Foundling, has been made rather larger than is directed by Count Rumford; it being conceived that the smoke of the London coal fires requires a larger passage than that of the wood fires at Munich.

		In the foyer of their building stood a white cradle were mothers could anonymously leave their children to be cared for by the Sisters.
		Probably the largest difference in how the Foundling Hospital placed their children is that the children were not sent out to be "randomly" adopted from a town hall or opera house, but were "requested" ahead of time by families who wanted a child.
		Requests would be sent to the NYFH for a child (for example: a 2 year old, blue eyed, blond haired girl), and then the Sisters would do their best to find a "matching" child.
