AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Freeman's Journal reports: 'A correspondent lately an inmate in the Liverpool Asylum, writes to inform us that he was forbidden by the master from reading the Freeman's Journal to a number of blind men who appeared to take some pleasure in listening to it. We are not aware of any regulations prohibiting the reading of newspapers in the asylum, and if there were, they should include the whole of the press.'
