Dear Susanna
My researches for a habilitation in History of Medicine are in an equal
field: I am looking for the perception, treatment and further circumstances
only of sic children in german speaking regions in the 18th c. Please give
me the details of your book to buy it. What about your research, I don't no
wether you know reading german speaking textes. Until now I found some
sources about orphanages, where it was an important question at which age a
child had to work. In the 18th century, the orphanages in german speaking
regions often were part of a disciplinary institution, also for adults,
criminels and poors, and therefor bound on a "fabric. Purhaps you can find
such sources in Stockholm too?
Please excuse my bad English!
