Text des Autors:
„The voices of ‘the apparent insane’ who were admitted to the former pauper lunatic asylum at Menston are for the most preserved in the original medical casebooks catalogued and stored at the West Yorkshire Archive Service in the unique collection identified as C485. Much of the material for the individual patients stories have been sourced from the casebooks, other reference points include contemporary newspapers reports, asylum records and Ancestry online.“
