          <mods:abstract>By the end of the 19th Century, a system existed in Europe by which countless abandoned children and infants were institutionalized. One of the main arguments to justify this system was that it would save the lives of children who would otherwise have died. In contrast, the reformers of the charge asserted that foundling homes were nothing but 'slaughter houses' and sites that 'legalized child murder'. The Italian contribution receipts will be checked for this claim, with special reference of the Foundling Hospital of Bologna during the years 1809-1870.</mods:abstract>
