| Popis: | George Wallett (1775–1845) is generally known only as Haslam’s successor at Bethlem who resigned under the cloud of corruption. However, his life proves to have been more eventful. He trained as a lawyer and doctor, enlisted in the army three times and bottled Malvern’s first soda water. After bankruptcy, he managed Pembroke House Asylum as it opened, held two jobs in Bethlem and then operated Surrey House Asylum in Battersea. He moved on to help set up the Suffolk and Dorset asylums, and designed the Leicestershire asylum. He finally designed and opened Northampton Asylum, where being a Catholic ended his career. |
