Persons of honour and reputation : the voluntary hospital in an age of corruption / by Anne Borsay.
Abstract:
'The focal point of this paper has been the way in which the 18th-century voluntary hospital responded to the threat of corruption, broadly defined to embrace not just financial irregularities but also betrayal of civic virtue or the public interest.' Draws extensively on the General Infirmatory at Bath between 1738 and 1750
