 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) |
Henry Tuke (1755–1814) co-founded with his father, William Tuke, the Retreat asylum in York, England, a humane alternative to the nineteenth-century network of asyla, based on Quaker principles.
He was the author of several moral and theological treatises which have been translated into German and French.
He was a subscriber to the African Institution, the body which set out to create a viable, civilized refuge for freed slaves in Sierra Leone, Africa.[1]
