''The History of the Workhouse: or Poor’s Hospital of Aberdeen from 1739 to 1818, its Boys’ Hospital from 1818 to 1852'' is a book written by Alexander Walker in 1885. The book provides a detailed account of the workhouse and poor’s hospital in Aberdeen, Scotland, from its establishment in 1739 until 1852. The workhouse was a place where the poor, destitute, and homeless people of Aberdeen could seek refuge and receive basic necessities such as food, shelter, and medical care. The book describes the conditions of the workhouse and the lives of those who lived there, including the various rules and regulations that governed their daily lives.The book also covers the establishment of the boys’ hospital in 1818, which was intended to provide education and training to young boys who were orphaned or came from impoverished families. The boys’ hospital was a separate institution from the workhouse, and the book provides a detailed account of its history and operations.Overall, ''The History of the Workhouse'' provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the poor and destitute in Aberdeen during the 18th and 19th centuries, and sheds light on the efforts made by the city to provide for its most vulnerable citizens.''Girls������� Hospital From 1828 To 1852 And Its Boys������� And Girls������� Hospitals From 1852 To 1885.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
