The expense connected with the production of this book had already been heavy, and this contretemps has entailed a further expenditure of so large an amount as to be well-nigh ruinous. All authors have sympathised with Carlyle in the loss of his manuscript, and we can declare from personal experience, in Circumstances which produced in our case a cata strophe almost as serious, that the burden of reproducing lost copy, representing many years of arduous labour and thought, is greater than can be realised, except by those who have had to experience so great a misfortune.

Book excerpt: Powerful photographs of the grand exteriors and crumbling interiors of America's abandoned state mental hospitals. For more than half the nation's history, vast mental hospitals were a prominent feature of the American landscape. From the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth, over 250 institutions for the insane were built throughout the United States; by 1948, they housed more than a half million patients. The blueprint for these hospitals was set by Pennsylvania hospital superintendant Thomas Story Kirkbride: a central administration building flanked symmetrically by pavilions and surrounded by lavish grounds with pastoral vistas. Kirkbride and others believed that well-designed buildings and grounds, a peaceful environment, a regimen of fresh air, and places for work, exercise, and cultural activities would heal mental illness. But in the second half of the twentieth century, after the introduction of psychotropic drugs and policy shifts toward community-based care, patient populations declined dramatically, leaving many of these beautiful, massive buildings—and the patients who lived in them—neglected and abandoned. Architect and photographer Christopher Payne spent six years documenting the decay of state mental hospitals like these, visiting seventy institutions in thirty states. Through his lens we see splendid, palatial exteriors (some designed by such prominent architects as H. H. Richardson and Samuel Sloan) and crumbling interiors—chairs stacked against walls with peeling paint in a grand hallway; brightly colored toothbrushes still hanging on a rack; stacks of suitcases, never packed for the trip home. Accompanying Payne's striking and powerful photographs is an essay by Oliver Sacks (who described his own experience working at a state mental hospital in his book Awakenings). Sacks pays tribute to Payne's photographs and to the lives once lived in these places, “where one could be both mad and safe.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hospitals and Asylums of the World, Vol. 2 of 4: Their Origin, History, Construction, Administration, Management, and Legislation; With Plans of the Chief Medical Institutions Accurately Drawn to an Uniform Scale; Asylum Construction, With Plans and Bibliography In the circumstances just mentioned it has been very difficult to decide what plans to give in this work. It seemed a useless task to repeat examples of the four types, because in effect it would only amount to the reproduction of almost identical plans, though each institution would of course bear its proper name. We think it well to state this by way of explanation, as some disappoint ment might otherwise be caused by the fact that the actual plans given in this volume are not more mimerous than they will be found to be. Our answer must be that it was quite unnecessary to publish mere plans as such, and we feel that to follow any other course than the one adopted would not only have been a waste of money and space, but a hindrance rather than a help to the practical alienist and architect. Anyonewho wishes to find out on what plan a particular asylum is constructed, or where a particular plan may be Seen, will be able to ascertain the fact by reference to the index, where are given the names of the institutions, and in each case the page on which the institution is classified under its own proper type. In giving a model plan, our object is to set forth in as intelligible a way as possible the main features of each portion of an asylum constructed upon modern ideas, with a due regard to the limits imposed by economical considerations. We do not claim com pleteness for our plan, but we do feel that it includes all the most important features, and that any institution constructed upon this model would enable the medical superintendent to provide adequately by classification for the needs of the majority, at any rate, of the patients intrusted to his care.
