A treatise on hospital and asylum construction; with special reference to pavilion wards . ion—and of conrse in pavil-ion hospitals this means the ward,— varies greatly,and each form has its advocates. Of course thepavilion itself with its semi-isolation, its fresh airand sunshine, is of greater importance than itsshape; though this too is worthy of serious consid-eration. All pavilions may be divided into thefollowing classes. First, oblong, in which thelength is usually about three times the width;second, square; third, octagonal; fourth, circular. While many examples of wards of each shapemay be found in block or corridor planned hospitalsdating earlier than all pavilion construction, it wasby these stages, wheii applied to pavilions^ that thecircular form which is the latest, was reached. The development of the circular pavilion hospi-tal was slow, and its success was assured only afterrepeated failures of many other forms,—althoughthe failures were usually on account of their arrange-ment or relative location rather than because oftheir shape. r v. / pL, E -i ioL.
