Note 85 — Chapter II · BETHLEM HOSPITAL AND ST. LUKE'S.
Reading edition
Malcolm, in his "Londinum Redivivum," 1803 (vol. i. p. 351), says, "The back part of the hospital, next London Wall, is too near the street. I have been much shocked at the screams and extravagances of the sufferers when passing there. This circumstance is to be deplored, but cannot now be remedied."
