About this ebook
This is an enlightening memoir by Herman Merivale, where he narrated his time in one of England's countryside asylums in the 1860s. He was suffering from depression and was taken into care for treatment. Throughout the work, Merivale attacked over-treatment and suggested that being in the asylum during that period could drive someone into insanity even if they were completely normal.
