About This Item
Hamburg [Germany]: Langhosssche Buchdruckerei, 1839. [1], 63, [1 (blank)]pp. 8vo. Text in German. Self-titled printed wrappers. Surface soil, and stains to exterior; perimeter chips in un-printed areas to wraps; foxing; good.
This pamphlet on nursing and charity work by German philanthropist and social reformer Amalie Sieveking (1794-1859) reports on the activities of the Weiblichen Vereins für Armen und Krankenpflege-the Women's Association for the Poor and the Sick.
Sieveking founded this nursing and charitable association in Hamburg, Germany after an outbreak of cholera there in 1831. Because of her efforts to train the poor for employment, to nurse the sick, and to build hospitals, Sieveking is regarded as a pioneer of modern German social work.
This seventh annual report of the Women's Association for the Poor and the Sick includes the statutes or constitution of the association ("Statuten des Vereins"). Also found here are an overview of its revenue and expenditures ("Uebersicht der Cinnahmen und Ausgaben des Vereins") and a specification of wages.
OCLC records individual reports and some serial runs. The periodical seems thinly-held in America. Approximate English translation of full title: "Seventh Report on the Achievements of Women's Association for the Poor and the Sick, Sincerely Dedicated to the Friends and Carriers of this Institution." Ref. Winkworth, ed., Life of Amelia Wilhelmina Sieveking. From the German (London, 1863).
