Publisher's Synopsis

The uncommon interest manifested by the public in the trial of the mount hope case, suggests the propriety of a few remarks, explanatory of the circumstances which gave rise to it.
Mount Hope Hospital, as is generally known throughout the country, but more especially to our own citizens, is a large and commodious building, formerly known as Mount H0pe College, situated on elevated ground in the North Western part of the City of Baltimore. The pro perty was purchased for the Sisters of Charity in the early part of the year 1844. They had previously occupied premises used as an Asylum for the Insane, situated in the North Eastern part of the City, known as Mount St. Vincent's Hospital. As soon as they became pos sessed of Mount Hope, they determined to enlarge and improve it, and make it, as far as possible, a complete and suitable Asylum for the Insane.
