Excerpt from A Visit to Thirteen Asylums for the Insane in Europe: To Which Are Added a Brief Notice of Similar Institutions in Transatlantic Countries and in the United States, and an Essay on the Causes, Duration, Termination and Moral Treatment of Insanity, With Copious Statistics During a recent tour in Great Britain and on the European continent, I visited several Asylums for the Insane, situated either upon my route or in its immediate vicinity. When the visits were made I had no intention of presenting what might be gleaned by them to the public; and I now regret my inability, from a want of more cepious data, to do that ample justice to the Asylums mentioned, as well as to the general subject itself, which they both deserve, and which the pro gress of our knowledge of insanity, and of the most judicious method of treating it, seems imperiously to demand. Imperfect, however, as may be these descriptions, it is be lieved that, in connection with the succeeding essay, they may be the means of extending the information of those who have heretofore devoted but little attention to the subject. I would direct the attention of those who are interested in the question of the utility of Lunatic Asylums, to the results of treatment as exhibited in the tables of both recent and chronic cases, and request them to compare the condition even of the incara bles with that of hundreds, may it' not be said, thousands, in our country, who are pining, famishing, dying in garrets, cel lars and dungeons, clothed in rags, and, in too many instances.
