About This Item
Hartford: F. C. Brownell, 1857.. Hardcover. Good. 364 pages, engraved plates. Part one contains information on institutions in Italy, Switzerland, Prussia, Wurtemberg, Hamburg, France, Belgium, Holland and Great Britain, including separate chapters on Scotland and Ireland. Part two is in fact merely a one page statistical table and a 4 page bibliography and index. A good clean copy internally but the top of the backstrip is detached and frayed at edges, with an old strip of sellotape over the gilt spine lettering of Reformatory. There is also a small piece missing from the foot of the backstrip and the top board is almost detached. Barnard was a noted American educationalist and long serving editor of the American Journal of Education. With the round library blindstamp of John and Joan Ellard. John Ellard was probably the eminent Australian psychiatrist, 1924-2011.
