The two institutions merged in 1713 and existed until the 1870.

No institutions existed for mobilizing or maintaining a standing force.

In the 19th century, various private institutions existed within Plano for the education of children.

As yet such institutions scarcely exist in this country.

Similar institutions existed in other towns and cities of Italy.

It is understood that this institution can not exist without his library.

The institution still exists, though it currently (as of 2009) has no physical home.
