ANDREWS C T Dark Awakening : A History of St Lawrence's Hospital
C T Andrews, U.K. 1978. Copyright, Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Very Good. Signed by Author. xii, 276 pages with an index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. ' John Pearce writes: What Cornish writer records the past with greater insight, who clothes histories in such limpid English? Those who treasure 'The First Cornish Hospital' by Dr. Charles Andrews will expect excellence. It will be found in his account of the life of Bodmin Asylum, as it is still widely known. Masses of statistical material have been used in the telling of a human story - a story sometimes tragic and often humorous but invariably related in a fascinating manner. The past ends in the present and readers will not judge the standards of earlier days by those upheld in our own time, nor will they fail to realise that what passes today is likely to be scorned tomorrow. Two splendid books then, from the hand of a man of learning and experience, which might well be envied by the professional historian '. Book - Fine [much better than Very Good] - 3 small spots of yellowing to the half title page, minor marking to the page edges. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to the half title page. Dust Jacket - Very Good - a nice bright red and black jacket with no fading as so often found with red, and with just an inch or so closed tear to the front top edge and an half an inch closed tear to the top of the spine both repaired to the verso, minor chipping to the extreme edges.
