Synopsis
Plan Of Queen Charlotte's Lying-In Hospital.: Instituted In Jan. 1752, And Renovated In The Year Of The Jubilee, Oct. 25, 1809 by Lester E. Frankenthal. This historical document outlines the governance and operations of Queen Charlotte's Lying-In Hospital in London, including the establishment's charitable mission to aid indigent mothers during childbirth. It presents a detailed framework for administration: a President, vice-presidents, a Treasurer, a weekly committee, and a general board; rules for admission, patient care, and discharge; prescriptions for medical staff, pupils, and midwives; and penalties and procedures for elections, audits, and finances. The plan documents the expansion of the hospital through subscriptions and donations, outlines the responsibilities of managers, matron, nurses, and out-patients, and describes the legislative-like bylaws that govern meetings, minutes, and governance. It also lists patrons, donors, and subscribing families who supported the charity in the early 19th century. The text thus provides a window into Victorian-era charitable medicine and institutional reform.
