Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
The foundation stone for Melbourne’s first public hospital was laid in 1846, on the same day as the foundation stone for the Princes’s Bridge. Opening its doors in 1848, the hospital was initially known as ‘The Charity’, because it treated only the poor. As Melbourne expanded, so it grew and survived the ordeals of boom, depression and the severe sanitation problems of the nineteenth century. Learn more within these pages.
