Morality and insanity trends in late 19th century notes
The piece argues wealthier women influence society, stresses soul-to-soul moral power over church machinery, and laments rising insanity linked to postwar greed and speculation. It cites New York charity data: New York state insane patients rising from 9,537 in 1883 to 16,647, with total state estimates near 20,000. It also touches on education titles and Latin terms, plus immigrant views on emigration and colonization.
