Excerpt from On the State of Lunacy and the Legal Provision for the Insane: With Observations on the Construction and Organization of Asylums The registration of lunatics has appeared to the author's mind of so great necessity and value that he has devoted several pages to unfold his views and to meet probable objections; and, in order to render the plan effectual, he has propounded as a complementary scheme the appointment of District Medical Officers, and entered into detail respecting the duties to be imposed upon them. Viewing the' Commission of Lunacy as the pivot upon which any system of supervising and protecting all classes of lunatics must turn, It became necessary to examine into the capability of the present Board for its duties; and the result of that examination is, that this Board is inadequate to the effectual perform ance of the duties at present allotted to it, and that it would be rendered still more so by the adoption of any scheme for a thoroughly complete inspection and guardianship of all lunatics. This conclusion suggests the proposition to enlarge the Commission, chiefly or wholly, by the appointment of Assistant Commissioners, charged particularly with the duties of Inspectors.
