Excerpt from The Fire Protection of Hospitals for the Insane This little manual is offered with the hope that it may prove of assistance to those who are interested in the proper fire-protection of Hospitals for the Insane. While much that is contained in its pages should be of interest to architects, builders, managers, and trustees, the work is especially intended for the use of Superintendents, and other officers, attendants, and employes in general of hospitals and asylums those who are more directly concerned in the prevention and extinguishment of fire. The author, regretting the incompleteness of the work in many respects, trusts that it may at least suggest what is necessary to be done in order that the dangers from fire in Hospitals for the Insane and other public institutions may be greatly lessened. While especially adapted for the use of Hospitals for the Insane, the suggestions herein offered may be easily modified to suit the requirements of all large public institutions, such as Asylums for the Deaf and Dumb, the Blind, the Idiotic and Feeble-Minded; Orphan Asylums; Sailors' and Soldiers' Homes; City Hospitals; Industrial Schools; Almshouses; Infirmaries; Reformatories; Penitentiaries, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
