Description
|
Letter from Charly H. Cheyney with a note by Mira Townsend. Cheyney describes the Italian revolutions, writing, “if not for the splendor of Palaces and the magnificence of churches, men would not suffer a Tax upon the bread that sustains life to support Kings, or tolerate that religious priestly arrogance that holds in chains of Superstition the minds that can be great only when they are free.” Townsend discusses Dorothea Dix’s attempts to establish more asylums. She also describes the annual meeting of the Rosine and mentions that Morgan Hinchman is suing his friends for having him sent to an asylum.
