	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.
		Innocent III caused one to be erected in 1198 at Rome in connexion with the hospital of the Holy Ghost.
		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 Foundling Hospital was established in 1739 as a result of the campaigning activities of Captain Thomas Coram.
		The Foundling Museum is remarkable for the variety and quality of its picture frames in the Palladian style, almost all of which were made for the hospital itself, rather than being supplied by the artists, since most of the pictures were donated without frames.
		The hospital's governors relied on their architect, Theodore Jacobsen, for advice on picture framing, as for example in 1750 when instructions were given for Andrea Casali's altar-piece for the chapel to be framed 'in such a manner as Mr Jacobsen shall direct'.

	Foundling Hospital, 1819, London, Local History
		Sometime in queen Anne's reign, the scheme of a foundling hospital was projected, and for want of due exertions it was abandoned; but several persons justly expecting that so humane a project would be renewed, bequeathed legacies to promote its establishment.
		The hospital is built on a spot that was called the Lamb's Conduit Fields, and was, in fact, surrounded with pleasant open country; but it is now bounded by Brunswick and Mecklenburg squares, and fronted, by Guildford street and Lamb's Conduit street.
		There are about 195 boys and girls now in the hospital, and 180 boys and girls (being very young) in the country under inspectors ;—the children are dismissed from the Foundling at the age of fourteen, being apprenticed to trades or places.

		The heart is one of hundreds of tokens left by poverty stricken mothers as the last evidence linking them with their children who would immediately be baptized and renamed and with whom they would in all probability have no further contact.
		"Whether it was from poverty or immorality, entering the Foundling Hospital was seen as expunging from the child the stain of the mother's sin -- as well as protecting both from the shame of illegitimacy," she added.
		It also recalls an idyllic early life on a farm with the foster parents the hospital immediately sent him to as was its practice with babies up to the age of 6 years.

		Although his involvement with the Hospital was concentrated into the last decade of Handel’s life, we may suspect that his support for the charity was strongly motivated by recollections of a comparable venture — similar in some ways, but very different in others — that he had known in his youth.
		The Foundling Hospital did not develop in quite the same way, and the chapel may have originally been perceived primarily as a way of attracting a wealthy and influential adult congregation (and thus putting the Hospital on London’s social map) rather than as a means for the religious education of the children themselves.
		Having committed themselves to the chapel building, the Hospital authorities then had to give thought to its maintenance, both as a building and as an institution: a regular pattern of services would have to be established, and this in turn required the employment of at least a clergyman and an organist.

		Although the Hospital had moved briskly with an ambitious building programme on its site in Lamb's Conduit Fields during the 1740s, the central chapel building overhead was still not completed when Handel gave his concert in 1749: at that stage it lacked not only internal furnishings but even windows.
		This keyboard was acquired and presented to the Hospital in 1898: where it came from and what relationship it had to anything that Handel touched seems to me to be anyone's guess, though due caution seems to be in order: It may have come from the later Parker organ.

		The hospital was first established by royal charter, granted in 1739 to Thomas Coram (master of a trading vessel), for the reception, maintenance, and education of exposed and deserted young children, after the example of similar institutions in France, Holland, and other Christian countries.
		A basket was hung at the gate of the hospital in London in which the children were deposited, the persons who brought them ringing a bell to give notice to the officers in attendance.
		The hospital, in fact, has not been without other friends also, for we are told how that a fl merchant, a native of Calcutta, named Omichand, towards the end of the last century, left a legacy of £5,000, the interest of which is shared between this institution and the Magdalen Hospital.

	Loggia by BRUNELLESCHI, Filippo
		The first expression of Brunelleschi's own architectural principles was the Foundling Hospital (Ospedale degli Innocenti) built between 1419 and 1424 in Florence.
		This, which was the first hospital for foundling children in the world was built at the expense of Brunelleschi's own Guild, that of the Silk Merchants and Goldsmiths.
		From the point of view of architecture the important part of this building is the outside loggia, since the hospital itself was completed by Brunelleschi's followers when he himself, in 1425, was far too busy with the dome of the Cathedral to attend to anything else.
