This book is an exploration of the history of the Humane Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, founded in 1780. The author discusses the society's impact on the development of medical techniques for resuscitation and first aid, its role in promoting public health and safety, and its broader significance as a reflection of the changing values and priorities of American society in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book also includes an appendix with a list of the society's members, as well as a catalog of its property and financial records. This book will be of interest to scholars of medical history, social welfare, and American history, as well as general readers interested in the history of the Humane Society movement.
