Construction And Government Of Lunatic Asylums: And Hospitals For The Insane (1847)

""The Construction and Government of Lunatic Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane"" is a comprehensive guide written by John Conolly in 1847. The book provides a detailed analysis of the construction and management of institutions designed to care for the mentally ill. It discusses the history of asylums, their architecture, and the various methods of treatment used at the time. Conolly also addresses the issue of overcrowding and the need for adequate staffing and resources. The book is significant as it was written during a time when the treatment of the mentally ill was being reformed, and it provides insight into the development of modern psychiatric care.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
