Letters and papers 1860-1869

Description

Please note: This catalogue entry and the record it describes, both contain an archaic, offensive term for people living with mental health issues. This has been retained in this specific context, as the term does not refer to any named individual, but to the parliamentary process which led to legislation with an importance to the history of mental health care in Britain and how it was implemented in Warwickshire. Please contact staff if you have concerns or queries about this approach.

Part of a letter to Lord Leigh referring to the 'Lunacy' Amendment Bill.
