This book is a historical report on the early years of the Worcester Insane Asylum, established as a refuge for chronic cases transferred from overcrowded hospitals. The report provides insights into the asylum's challenges and successes during its first years of operation, including its efforts to provide humane care and treatment to its patients and its struggles to balance its budget while maintaining a high standard of care. The author examines the evolution of the asylum's mission and its role within the broader context of mental health care in the late 19th century.
