The word "Bedlam" is, used nowadays to describe any scene of wild uproar, and it is strange to reflect that it comes from the name of Bethlehem. The Hospital of St Mary Bethlehem was originally a. Priory founded in 1247; A.D. and situated In Bishopsgate Street, London. Upon the disso- lution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII the priory became a lunatic asylum.
