1880ref. CAT0161Vermont 1880. Albumen photograph. 15 ½ x 10 inches on a 19 x 14 inch cardstock mount. Very Good. A rare 19th century view of an insane asylum. The Vermont Asylum for the Insane which later became the Brattleboro Retreat was founded based on Quaker principles of moral treatment. The founder Anna Hunt Marsh was the first woman credited with starting a hospital for the mentally ill. The approach was based on English institutions such as The York Retreat.

This image is unrecorded and would date to sometime before 1890 when the institution was renamed. Some uneven fading otherwise well preserved. Mount toned at edges. Very good overall. unknown books

In this work Cheyne aroused much interest in the investigation of the bodily fibres and in exploration of the metaphysical relationship of mind and body. "Like many other authors on nervous diseases of the depressive kind, Cheyne wrote from personal experience and so, perhaps claimed that those 'of the liveliest and quickest natural Parts..... whose Genius is most keen and penetrating' were most prone to such disorders: Fools, weak or stupid Persons, heavy and dull Souls, are seldom troubled with Vapours or Lowness of Spirits.' Perhaps for the same reason he considered that 'of all the Miseries that afflict Human Life, and relate principally to the Body, in this Valley of Tears, I think Nervous Disorders, in their extreme and last Degrees, are the most deplorable, and beyond comparison the worst.' He recommended treatment especially by evacuation and slender diet, by which he himself had been cured."?Hunter and McAlpine. Wellcome II, p.339; Hunter and MacAlpine, pp.351-54.
