The Daily Dispatch: June 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], Lost men. (search)
Lost men. --In a very interesting paper, published in the Medical Times and Gazettes, Dr. Connolly says: "The diversities of life in London furnished occasional cases to Hanwell scarcely to be met with in asylums remoter from the capital-- the cases of men more or less educated, and who, from some imperfection of mind or infirmity of disposition, had fallen out of their own rank in life, and, by slow degrees, had sunk into destitution; or, after long contention with the troubled currents of town existence, were wrecked and cast ashore like things unregarded and valueless. Ingenious and ambitious men, not very systematically educated; or men of imagination and feeling, but wanting self-government; and also some who had studied at the universities and brought away some fragments of learning, and perhaps a cultivated taste, but no solid acquirement — sometimes appeared among the new arrivals from the workhouses, where misery had made them acquainted with strange bedfellows.--
