Lunacy Legislation in Holland

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Affiliation:
Provincial Lunatic Asylum, Meerenberg, near Haarlem

Extract

As in France, so in the Netherlands there is but one law relating to the care of persons of unsound mind. It was issued on the 29th of May, 1841, and consequently is posterior by about three years to the French law.
