One more proof of the iniquitous abuse of private madhouses. By Samuel Bruckshaw, Late of Stamford, Lincolnshire.

The case, petition and address, of Samuel Bruckshaw, who suffered a most severe imprisonment, for very near a whole year, loaded with Irons, without being heard in his defence, nay even without being accused, and at last denied an Appeal to a Jury. Humbly offered to the perusal and consideration of the judicious and humane public. By the petitioner.

Voices of madness : four pamphlets, 1683-1796 / edited by Allan Ingram ; foreword by Roy Porter.
