WILLIAM See also:TUKE (1732-1822) was See also:born at See also:York on the 24th of See also:March 1732. His name is connected with the humane treatment of the insane, for whose care he projected in 1792 the See also:Retreat at York, which became famous as an institution in which a bold See also:attempt was made to See also:manage lunatics without the excessive restraints then regarded as essential. The See also:asylum was entirely under the management of the Society of See also:Friends. Its success led to more stringent legislation in the interests of the insane.

JAMES HACK TUKE (1819-1896) was born at York on the 13th of See also:September 1819. He was educated at the Friends' school there, and after working for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time in his father's wholesale See also:tea business, became in 1852 a partner in the banking See also:firm of Sharples and Co., and went to live at See also:Hitchin in See also:Hertford-See also:shire. For eighteen years he was treasurer of the Friends' See also:Foreign See also:Mission Association, and for eight years chairman of the Friends' Central See also:Education See also:Board. But he is chiefly remembered for his philanthropic See also:work in See also:Ireland, which was in a See also:great measure the result of a visit to See also:Connaught in 1847, and of the scenes of See also:distress which he there witnessed. In 188o, accompanied by W. E. See also:Forster, he spent two months in the See also:West of Ireland distributing See also:relief which had been privately subscribed by Friends in See also:England. Letters descriptive of the See also:state of things he saw were published in The Times, and in his pamphlet, Irish Distress and its Remedies (188o), he pointed out that Irish distress was due to economic rather than politicaldifficulties, and advocated state-aided See also:land See also:purchase, See also:peasant proprietorship, See also:light See also:railways, See also:government help for the fishing and See also:local See also:industries, and See also:family See also:emigration for the poorest peasants. From 1882 to 1884 he worked continuously in Ireland super-intending the emigration of poor families to the See also:United States and the Colonies. The failure of the See also:potato See also:crop in Ireland in 1885 again called forth Tuke's See also:energy, and on the invitation of the government, aided by public subscription, he See also:purchased and distributed See also:seed potatoes in See also:- ORDER

- ORDER, HOLY
order to avert a See also:famine. To his reports of this See also:distribution and his letters to The Times, which were reprinted under the See also:title The Condition of See also:Donegal (1889), were due in a great measure the See also:bill passed for the construction of light railways in 1889 and the Irish Land See also:Act which established the Congested Districts Board in 1891. He died on the 13th of See also:January 1896.
