The ob•
fault es sect of this Institution is the restoration of the mental
of person sin the upper walks of life when disturbed by
disease s
or other causes. Persons of fortune, whose nervous tem-
peramentsr_seet. may make a 1 emporary retirement desirable, will here find
.ion and a holle, the Instution being conducted on Plea Inv loatveolving most importantti advantages, aso connected with the
recovery of the Invalids, and the security and satisfaction
;,Z.ssa afforded to their friends ; namely, first, that of studying the hap-
and amusements of the Patients, and preventing them, as
stie,`:,n as possible, (though at all times under proper moral and me-
aLal. restraints), from feeling that they are excluded from the or-
trarsss
.Porivileges of society ; secondly, that of classifying the Pa-
-1 separate establishments, and not allowing those whose
-Tsilesevrsumes a permanently violent, or in any way permanently
11171,1
arceharacter, to reside in the establishment appropriated to
and
t capablet of enjoying the privileges of social intercourse ;
ao ethirdly,. of placing each establishment at all times under
dnterested surveillance.
tt_l'uov_great and most important novel feature of this Institution is,
hile each of its establishments is in the strictest sense a Private
iturn as regards the names and family connexions of its inmates,
7 .
cl the special accommodation provided for those who requite it, it
the most important sense, a Public Asylum, inasmuch as the
.isits of the usual Medical Attendant of the Patients, or their
Bends and relatives, are allowed without any previous notice ;
while every opportunity of searching into abuses or mismanage-
ment, as well as the power of restoring the Patients to their friends,
or to general society, when it may be done with propriety, is given
to persons of the highest rank, talent, and acknowledged integrity,
and who have no interest whatever in the pecuniary arrangements
or emoluments of the Institution ; thus affording opportunities for
the Patients to make complaints, whether frivolous or Just, without
the sear of being afterwards harshly treated, of which so many dis-
tressing instances occur.
It is a melancholy fact, that, while the Pauper Lunatics in the
county asylums are protected by the disinterested surveillance of
the independent magistracy of the country, and are blessed with the
ni.dis p
sal attendance of a resident paid officer of first-rate talent,
whose essioluments do net depend in any way on the number of pa-
t
fieerntshe cal: retain in the County Asylum ; the unfortunate suf-
iceeor isedn the 11;,'sher walks of life has no refuge but the ordinary
madhouse or private residence, where there is no surveil-
snce_ , and where the interests of the medical man, and of every
one
rby whom the Invalids are surrounded, are notoriously so much
!late promoted by their remaining lunatic than by their recovery,
theta a constant struggle between principle and self-interest must be
result, while their friends often dare not encounter the re-
roaches of the world for thus consigning them to what is too often
s,set unjustly considered 2* a cruel and heartless oblivion, and are,
seerefore induced, at any sacrifice of comfort or convenience, to keep
tasthem at home, an arrangement at all times, it is well known, least
_ to promote their recovery.
ao provide a remedy for this obvious and crying evil, the bane
of
th existing Private Lunatic Establishments for the upper classes,
e present institution has been founded, and placed under the dis-
Llterested surveillance of its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen, and Gentle-
Zs,Z whose high public character and station in society cannot fail
-Lionise public confidence, and who have no other interest in the
7,lditution but what is prompted by a noble desire to benefit mankind.
to
these Vice-Patrons is given the power, whenever they choose
s
exercise it, of visiting the Institution, of instituting inquiries, of
s,„
Zalraunicating ssith the Resident Medical Officer of the Institution,
e With the friends of the parties, and of restoring any patients to
sthem,lt or to general society, without reference to the Committee of
Management or to the Proprietors of the various Establishments
of
the Institution. To the Committee of Management are con-
'led the arrangements for receiving patients into the Institution,
as the superintendence of the detailed management of its Esta-
blishments ;soas to secure the perfect carrying out of the social,
~sinterested, and effective plans whichit embraces. To remove
e temptation to detain any patient beyond the period necessary to
establish a cure (where a cure is practicable), the Resident Medical
encer of each Establishment has a salary wholly independent of
emoluments of the Institution, in which he will not be allowed,
s,
Zrectly or indirectly, at any time to participate, so that his disin-
treit'd attention is at all times exclusively directed to the cure ofh
e Patients, and the discharge of such as recover under the treat-
I ent, or whose friends wish them to be removed ; while, as a
o.uwrther stimulus to his exertions in this respect, a premium is
/Vied to him by the Institution for every patient permanently
ea
according to a fixed scale dependent on, the shortness of the
durinx which the patient has been under his care. On him
alone th devolvie the entire responsibility of the medical treatment of
ss.: Patients • it being obvious to those who confide their invalid
Z.!.nds or relatives to the care of this Institution, that this respon-
?lin% is of a nature that cannot be shared by the Committee of
Management.
The great hope of the promoters of this Institution is, that they
day be able to set an example of a more attentive, benign, social,
letive, and effective system of treatment for persons afflicted with
mental diseases than has hitherto been adopted ; to prevent the pa-
gents feeling that they are outcasts from society, and unfit for so-
eial intercourse, and to direct and encourage that portion of the in-
tellect which yet remains into amusing sources of occupation, while
strict attention to health, air, and exercise, works the restoration,
rendered hopeless only by neglect of these important considera-
-1 jl°ns• Every object of luxury or taste which the eye of the patients
b i
as been accustomed to dwell upon, if suddenly removed from them,
Works evil, which, however gradual in its progress or imperceptible
a-4
~Its on is not the less certain in its ultimate injurious effects;
isn't if a permanent cure be the honett intention of the parties en-
trusted with their care, the Patients should not be allowed, for one
—,,,7teent, to feel that their removal from the noise and bustle of the
:rid as Invalids, is more than a temporary retirement for the
, 2,re effectual cure of a temporary disorder, an object which can
"Y be obtained by giving them every social and domestic comfort
1414: amusement which their disturbed state of mind may leave them
li-sl'ab2e of appreciating. This system, which reason dictates and
ITrnanis' sr approves, once fairly introduced to public notice, it is
