Abstract
THIS able address with the discussion which followed it, brings fully before us the question of hospital construction. The Address itself is exclusively practical: it goes direct to its object and, by appealing to the results of every day's experience of the benefit of cleanliness, space and fresh air; it points out how these essential elements in the management of the sick, have been embodied in recent hospitals and it indicates by implication, what errors should be avoided.
An Address on the General Principles which should be Observed in the Construction of Hospitals. Delivered to the British Medical Association at Leeds,
by Douglas Galton. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1869.)
