Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Turkish Baths is the first book to bring to light the hidden history of a fascinating institution - the 600-plus dry hot air baths that sprang up across Ireland, Britain and beyond, in the 19th century. Malcolm Shifrin traces the bath's Irish-Roman antecedents, looking at how its origins were influenced by the combination of physician Richard Barter's hydropathic expertise, and idiosyncratic diplomat David Urquhart's passion for the hammams of the Middle East. The book reveals how working-class members of a network of political pressure groups built more than 30 of the first Turkish baths in England. It explores the architecture, technology and sociology of the Victorian Turkish bath, examining everything from business and advertising to sex-real and imagined. This book offers a wealth of wondrous detail - from the baths used to treat sick horses to those for first-class passengers on the Titanic. Victorian Turkish Baths will appeal to those interested in Victorian social history, architecture, social attitudes to leisure, early public health campaigns, pressure groups, gendered spaces and much else besides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman or Turkish Bath: Together With Barege, Medicated, Galvanic and Hydropathic Baths I would not have ventured to obtrude my views upon the public. But having been for a considerable time past engaged in the administration of hydropathic appliances, and various kinds Of medicated baths, together with the Roman or Turkish Bath, and finding that the general public - and even many Of my medical brethren - are either ill-informed or apathetic and indifferent with re gard to the last of these, I feel constrained to come for ward, however reluctantly, to explain what a Turkish Bath really is, and what it is fitted to accomplish when judiciously administered. It is well known that there is the utmost difficulty in inducing mankind to judge of things upon their own intrinsic merits. They will not undergo the lahom and trouble Of examining matters for themselves, but on all occasions prefer going on as their fathers did before them, and have no tolerance for those who endeavour to lead them from the beaten track to which they have been accustomed. In their eyes, it is enough to con demn the most valuable discovery, that the sin Of novelty attaches to it. Hence the apostle of reformation Often dies as a martyr to it, and seals with his blood those truths that are fraught with blessings to future genera tions.
