22 19th-Century Works on Mental Health Hospices in England
$13,000
Offered by Librairie Paul Jammes
Gathered by the French psychiatrist Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol, this bound collection of scarce 18th- and 19th-century pamphlets describes the state of mental health treatment in England and Scotland, from its financing to the abuses happening in hospices. In documenting UK mental healthcare in this period, this acquisition would help the Library broaden its documentation of underprivileged and less well-represented groups in its collections.
