Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the history of five London hospitals: St. Bartholomew's, Christ's, Bridewell, St. Thomas', and Bethlem. The author investigates the origins of these institutions, examining their establishment by the Crown and the subsequent management and control exercised by the Corporation of London. The book highlights the complex relationship between the hospitals and the City, as well as the challenges and controversies that have shaped their development over the centuries. It delves into the governance of these hospitals, the appointment and role of governors, and the regulations established for their administration. Moreover, the book examines the charitable purposes of the hospitals, their provision of support and care to the sick, the poor, and the disadvantaged, and the ways in which they have adapted to changing needs and societal shifts over time. Through a comprehensive analysis of original documents, including charters, ordinances, and correspondence, the author sheds light on the legal and administrative framework within which these hospitals operated, and their significance as charitable institutions within the urban landscape of London.
