上海簡史

內(nèi)容概要

Whhen the author first undertook to write this brief historyof the International Settlement of Shanghai, he failed torealize the difficulty of the task. Messrs. George Lanning and SamuelCouling gathered a large amount of material concerning the earlydays, but no one continued what they began, and therefore a gooddeal of spade work became necessary.　　Many books have been consulted, a list of which is published atthe end of the volume, and the columns of the North-China HeraMhave proved invaluable.

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：   插圖：   Hospitals During the early days of the International Settlement, the revenue of the Municipal Council was not sufficient to allow it to spend much on public works or to establish institutions for the benefit of the community, and a good deal was left to private enterprise. We see this especially in connection with the development of hospitals.Health conditions were poor, due to stagnant pools, to lack of proper drainage and to the unsanitary habits of the Chinese population. At times the death rate was exceedingly high, and there were frequent epidemics of cholera, smallpox and typhoid. The need of better hospital accommodation became urgent. In 1862 Shanghai had two hospitals for foreigners, the Shanghai Hospital and Dispensary, and the Marine Hospital. These proving to be insufficient, shares were sold for the establishment of a General Hospital. A sum of Tls. 31.000 was subscribed and trustees were appointed. The new hospital was first situated between the West Gate and the Ningpo Guild (popularly known as the Ningpo Joss House). The patients were cared for by the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, many of whom rendered devoted service. As years went by it became necessary for the Municipal Gouncil to assist in the support of this enterprise, and to make an annual donation towards its maintenance. In this way the large General Hospital, now standing on the north side of the Soochow Creek, between Chapoo and North Szechuen Roads, came into existence. Gaols The need of a gaol was soon realized, for Shanghai from the start had to cope with a criminal class. Sailors on shore often gave serious trouble, and the influx of Chinese into the Settlements brought many of the undesirable class.
