Insanity in Wilts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
Dr. Thurnam, in his Report, tells us that comparing the Commissioners, “Returns of Pauper Lunatics” with the Returns of Population for 1861, it will be found that Wiltshire stands in the unenviable position of having a greater proportion of insane paupers than any other county of England and Wales. Those most nearly approaching it are Gloucester, Oxford, Berks, and Dorset, all agricultural counties; while the ratio of pauper insanity is lowest in Durham, Glamorgan, Stafford, Yorkshire, Cornwall, Derby, Chester, and Lancashire, the most influential in the mining, manufacturing and trading enterprise of the kingdom.
