Isi artikel

In 1817 the musician Samuel Wesley was confined for a year in Blacklands House, a private lunatic asylum in London operated by Dr Alexander Robert Sutherland. Surviving documents enable aspects of Wesley’s case to be reconstructed and indicate that his confinement was an enormous miscarriage of justice.
