On Decoration and Furnishing of Asylums

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

I submit the following suggestions in reference to the Decoration and Furnishing of Asylums in response to the appeal of Dr. Savage at last year's General Meeting of the Society—his request that members should take up subjects connected with the everyday practical details of asylum management. I trust that this may prove helpful, and that the limits imposed upon a single paper will not be meagre to baldness.

* Since this article was written I have been using Thonet's Austrian bent wood chairs, which seem to combine wonderful toughness and durability, with neatness of form, at a moderate cost. They have been in the wards with the most excited patients here for about a twelvemonth, and have stood that test without material damage. They are to be had from Blyth and Sons, Chiswell Street, E.C., a furnishing firm well known among Asylum Superintendents.Google Scholar
