A Concise History of the Entire Abolition of Mechanical Restraint in the Treatment of the Insane

In this 1857 work, Robert Gardiner Hill describes his and Edward Charlesworth's reforms at the Lincoln Asylum, and attempts to refute the claim of the more famous John Conolly to primacy in abolishing restraints. Hill also reprints examples from the pamphlet war that arose out of this controversial topic.
