reeThui,..e. object of this Institution is the restoration of the mental
dj,„._wes of her causes
the upper walks of life when disturbed by
,Z,or other causes. Persons of fortune, whose nervous tem-
Inent may make a temporary retirement desirable, will here find
ultimate
involving
''re'tion and a hoi)e, the Institution being conducted on princi-
ple'most important advantages, as connected with the
efiti.Mate recovery of the Invalids, and the security and satisfaction
,-11,nled to their friends ; namely, first, that of studying the hap-
Wtteeri and amusements of the Patients, and preventing them, as
dicta as Possible, (though at all times under proper moral and me-
dia restraints), from feeling that they. are excluded from the or-
tietZ Privileges of society ; secondly, that of classifying the Pa-
' di in separate establishments, and not allowing those whose
ofee,27 assumes a permanently violent, or in any way permanently
and,a character, to reside in the establishment appropriated to
azid, bird] capable of enjoying the privileges of social intercourse ;

As "une each of its establishments is
.in the strictest sense a Private
inkftus.ra as regards the names and family connexions of its inmates,
is, in special
important sense,
provided for those who require it, it
Il sense, a Public Asylum, inasmuch as the
friets,, le most
°f the usual Medical Attendant of the Patients, or their
tvhir's and relatives, are allowed without any previous notice;
iuent
every opportunity of searching into abuses or mismanage-
°r as well as the power of restoring the Patients to their friends, i
to T.,- general society, when it may be done with propriety, s given
arkrersons of the highest rank, talent, and acknowledged integrity,
es, who have no interest whatever in the pecuniary arrangements
th emoluments of the Institution ; thus affording opportunities for
pall the ratients to make complaints, whether frivolous or just, without
tres; Of being afterwards harshly treated, of which so many dis-
h!lA instances occur.
eoantis a melancholy fact, that, while the Pauper Lunatics in the
medical
inoYdeepaeaslniudmenst are protected by the disinterested surveillance of
henna of the country, and are blessed with the
tl°se ernolu of a resident paid officer of first-rate talent,
bents he ments do not depend in any way on the number of pa-
-1 in j.,nnletain in the County Asylum ; the unfortunate
censed nigher walks of life has no refuge but the ordinary
;nee, a niadhou.se or private residence, where there is no surveil-
ene r',d Where the interests of the medical man, and of every
raornY wnom the Invalids are surrounded, are notoriously so much
that; Py:tnoted by their remaining lunatic than by their recovery
,
the result,jltant struggle between principle and self-interest must be
proaeh while their friends often dare not encounter the re-
Ot
tht iines of the world for thus consigning
them to what is too often
eredust!Y considered as a cruel and heartless oblivion, and are,
%e re el u, induced, at any sacrifice of comfort or convenience, to keep
hke at home, an arrangement at all times, it is well known, least
to Promote their recovery.
