The Scottish Women's Hospital at the French Abbey of Royaumont

Royaumont法国修道院的苏格兰妇女医院

ISBN：9781331919698，出版年：2016，中图分类号：K81

So impressed was the writer on his first visit to the Abbey of St. Louis by its architecture, history, and romantic surroundings, that he determined to create spare moments in his own Red Cross work in France and compile a brochure on the distinguished habitation of the Scottish Women at Royaumont. Particularly did the idea include (for the reader) a reconstruction from ancient plans and documents of the superb Abbey Church demolished by order of the Commune in the year 1791.Subsequent visits brought him into contact with the Hospital there established, and this created an instant diversion. Familiarity with the perplexities of transformation, an intimacy with the numerous patients, and an ultimate comprehension of the remarkable scientific, administrative, and benevolent achievements of the Staff, dimmed earlier interests, made clearly imperative a history of what had been accomplished by the first hospital in France conducted entirely by women.The necessary material has been contributed by Dr. Agnes Savill, without whose valuable and varied help a record of the Hospital could not have been undertaken.This finished, the original impulse of compiling a history of the Abbey returned with all the force of suspended intention, and with the added necessity of framing the Hospital in its own surroundings.

The Cremation of the Dead -- Considered From an Æsthetic, Sanitary, Religious, Historical, Medico-Legal, and Economical Standpoint

It is hardly necessary to explain the purpose of this work. It is an appeal to the general public; a plea for the burning of the dead. The period of fierce and fanatic opposition to cremation has passed, and made way for a calm consideration of the subject. In 1874 a Persian gentleman, then a resident of one of the Eastern States of our own free and great republic, who wanted to have his wife cremated, was compelled by an ignorant mob to resort to interment. Happily we are over that now.It is astonishing that the cremation question has not been taken hold of by the literarians of our country; there is hardly a subject that rewards its student so well as cremation, and future writers on incineration, not hampered by the literary inexperience under which I have labored, will reap a rich harvest indeed when they devote their talent and time to the reform.I would counsel those who are in favor of cremation to immediately put in writing their desire to have their body committed to the flames after death instead of having it consigned to dirt and darkness. Such written requests should be preserved in places where they can be easily found after decease; for instance, in the writing-desk. If every individual promotor of the reform, male or female, considering the uncertainty of life, would follow this advice, cremation would speedily prevail.
