She describes its practical operation in both urban and rural areas, giving special attention to the city of Aberdeen and the adjacent counties. She analyses the controversies and debates surrounding the English act of 1834 and Scottish Poor Law Amendment Act of 1845, including the arguments of the Glasgow minister Dr, Thomas Chalmers and the Ediburgh medical professor William Pulteney Alison.

Most historians portray 19th-century county asylums as the exclusive realm of the asylum doctor, but Bartlett (law, U. of Nottingham) argues that they should be thought of as an aspect of English poor law, in which the medical superintendent had remarkably little power. He examines the place of the county asylum movement in the midcentury poor law debates and its legal and administrative regimes. Taking the Leicestershire asylum as a case study, he explores the role of poor law officers in admission processes, and relations between them and the staff and inspectors.
