The case study says, ?Her case does not promise an early or complete restoration, And that the issue that developed during the last few days of her residence in Washington made it obligatory to place her where she would be under observation at all times. Her own life was perished and at times she would throw herself on the floor of the Public Library room in the presence of 40 or 50 persons and offer importunate prayers for their salvation. She wandered at night in an undress in the hotel preaching at the doors of acquaintances raising them from sleep to converse on various topics??Dorothea Lynde Dix was an advocate on behalf of the indigent mentally ill who, through a vigorous and sustained program of lobbying state legislatures and the United States Congress, created the first generation of American mental asylums. During the Civil War, she served as a Superintendent of Army Nurses.Autograph Letter Signed, 3 pages, Washington, January 28, no year but ca. 1851, to Rev. Wiliam Allen. ?I learned that an invalid lady Mrs. Lawson of Louisiana, lately introduced to my acquaintance in an insane condition is your niece, and I write to inform you that I took her on Saturday of last week to the Pennsylvania hospital for the insane near Philadelphia under charge of doctor Kirkbride. I cannot now give you the history of her condition for several weeks past, but highly state that her case does not promise an early or complete restoration, And that the issue that developed during the last few days of her residence in Washington made it obligatory to place her where she would be under observation at all times. Her own life was perished and at times she would throw herself on the floor of the Public Library room in the presence of 40 or 50 persons and offer importunate prayers for their salvation. She wandered at night in an undress in the hotel preaching at the doors of acquaintances raising them from sleep to converse on various topics. She was alone both her faithful servant Henderson being as expensive charges and in this state of things it was not known that she had any friends or relatives to whom appeal could be made. Mr. Conrad, the secretary of war, and general Davis and some others of Louisiana were called on. I heard from several parties who came to me from the hotel of the facts and did what in corresponding circumstances I should desire should be done for myself, removed her to what are to me of the best remedial institutions in the country as quietly and comfortably as was possible. She is pleased with her situation at present, and is disposed to adopt the idea of a mission to the inmates of the hospital whose salvation is dictated to assure. I will endeavor to write to you again but my time is much occupied, I have very little leisure. I advise that the friends of Mrs. L do not visit her just now lest excitement be increased ? her comfort and care are protected and assured.? Charles M. Conrad was Secretary of War from 1850 to 1853, thus the assumed date. General Davis would be Jefferson Davis.Dorothea Dix was a teacher of the underprivileged, which indirectly led to her role as an influential social reformer. While visiting a jail in 1841 to teach Sunday school, she witnessed the appalling treatment of the mentally ill who were forced to live in the company of common criminals. Outraged, Dix felt morally compelled to promote humane care for those suffering from mental illness. At a time when these people were often incarcerated in prisons or crowded into small wards at private hospitals, Dix convinced the legislatures of many states to construct public asylums where the mentally ill could live in reasonable comfort, receive therapy, and be encouraged to live more enriched lives. Dix's tireless work publicized the abuse of the mentally ill and was a catalyst for the advancement of humane treatment. Her efforts were directly responsible for the founding of numerous asylums throughout the United States, as well as in Canada and Europe. Dorothea Dix and Thomas Kirkbride formed a warm friendship through their common interest and goals. Dix's work undoubtedly created circumstances favorable to the proliferation of asylums based on Kirkbride's ideas. William Allen was an American biographer, scholar and academic. He served as president of both Dartmouth University and Bowdoin College.

Sole edition of a brief account of the woman who almost single-handedly created the first generation of mental asylums in America, written by the pioneering American scientist and women's rights campaigner Caroline A. Kennard. "In her lifetime, Dorothea Dix brought about significant changes in the care of the mentally ill in North America and Europe. Her work influenced conceptions about those held in prisons and asylums by identifying mental illness as a medical rather than moral issue. Her efforts helped pave the way for improved treatment of the mentally ill as well as the creation of more than 120 new mental health facilities. As biographers Charles Schlaifer and Lucy Freeman wrote, "It was Dorothea Lynde Dix who lifted the status [of the insane] from that of wounded beasts who were brutalized, chained, thrown food as though they were vicious dogs, and left to freeze in the cold, to that of troubled mortals who could be helped to regain their senses as they received understanding care that helped them reach the roots of their inner disturbances" (p. 161). Dix's compassionate work and dedicated effort for over forty years helped open the eyes of many to the plight of the mentally ill. Her distinguished career as an advocate for reform has earned her an important place in history as well as the respect of people around the world." (American National Biography). Octavo, 24 pages, wire-stitched as issued in printed stiff paper wrappers. Staples somewhat rusty, spine worn with a few small punctures; a clean bright copy.

Map. Color lithograph. Sheet measures 26" x 18 7/8" This vibrant pictorial map of the continental United States was designed as a collaboration between Dorothea Dix Lawrence, American soprano and folklorist, and artist Harry Cimino. The map is extensively illustrated to depict the broad influences of American folk music, with song titles and opening musical notations reflecting their respective geographical region. A decorative border includes instruments from various time periods and origins. It also features seven Zuni symbols used to represent the musical scale. At the top of the map, "Explanations to Illustrations and Music on Map" includes a Key to Musical Classification and a Key to the Illustrations in the Border." In very good condition, one small closed tear to upper margin. Dorothea Dix Lawrence (1899-1979) was an New York City born opera singer and folklorist. "During the 1930s, Lawrence developed a passionate interest in American folk music and folklore. In 1939, she created the radio program Primer of American Music, a series of 27 weekly broadcasts spondered by the Philadelphia Board of Education, and she also starred, produced, and directed an 8-week summer program for WNYC entitled Folk Musicians. Eventually, Lawrence reworked the content she produced for her radio programs to create the Folklore Music Map of the United States in 1945. The map, which was a collaboration between Lawrence and the woodcut artist and illustrator Harry Cimino (1898-1969) was widely distributed in American schools, and it became the basis for Lawrence's lecture-recitals and a published volume of folk songs. She was a member of the National Committee of the National Folkfestival USA, and the Folklore Society of Great Britain and North Ireland, and, in 1952, she was made a fellow of the Royal Anthopological Society of Great Britain. In 1958, she founded her own folklore society, which bore her name." (Shibuya, University of Rochester).
