Book Description

Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity of Massachusetts: To Which Is Added a Statistical Appendix IN considering the statistics given in the following Report, it should be noticed that Tables I. And III. In the Appendix relate to the municipal year established by statute for the pauper returns of numbers and annual cost, and that this year ends on the 3lst of March, 1881. The Tables VIII -xiv. In the Appendix relate to the State official year from October to October. In the Tables IV., V., and VI., the State year and the municipal year appear together, the error thus arising being slight In the Insanity Tables the year from October to October is implied; and the same is true concerning the Reformatories. In the Census of Pauperism, Table II., and in Tables XV. And XVI., certain facts are given at definite specified dates, which sufficiently appear from the tables themselves. On p. Xx, third line, for Dr. Robert T. Davis, read J. P. Davis. On p xxxiv, near the end of paragraph lst, read from the prison to the asylum, instead of from one prison to another. On p. Xxxv, fifteenth line, for saving substitute outlay, and ine sei for after the word compensated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
