Yearly admission and discharges recorded at the end of the volume. This is the earliest volume of case notes, and should be consulted before looking at volume GRHB 2/4/1 for choronological research purposes. The volume is labelled on the inside as Volume 1, but makes reference to a 'former volume' within some of the notes. The notes contain details on patients admitted prior to January 1815 and who were still in the Asylum at that point. Some notes continue into other later volumes.
