Description

Founding Friends is a history of day-to-day life inside the Friends Asylum for the Insane in early nineteenth-century Philadelphia. By building on an extraordinarily rich data source-the daily diaries that the asylum's lay superintendents kept between 1814 and 1850-this book offers a new perspective on institutional life.
