Excerpt from Handbook for Attendants on the InsaneAn attendant, as defined by the Lunacy Act, 16 & 17 Vic. c. 96, s. 36, 'Shall mean any person, whether male or female, who shall be employed, either wholly or partially, in the personal care, control, or management of any lunatic in any registered hospital or licensed house, or of any single patient.'The following valuable remarks relating to the duties of attendants, from the ninth Report of the Commissioners in Lunacy, should be read by all those who undertake this responsible post: -'We avail ourselves of this occasion to notice a subject of essential importance in connexion with the management of asylums, and the treatment of their inmates. The skill and judgment of a superintendent or proprietor are of little avail, unless he be zealously supported, and his orders effectually carried out by an adequate staff of well-qualified attendants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
