VISIT TO A PRIVATE ASYLUM
FOR THE INSANE OF THE HIGHER CLASSES.
(From Chambers's Edinburgh Journal.)
When lately in London, we received an invitation to dine
at Wykehouse, near Brentford, with Dr. and Mrs.
Costello and their patients. What would the " Man of
Feeling," who wrote a sentimental description of the
horrors of Bedlam sixty years ago, with its ferocious
maniacs, and more ferocious keepers—its cells, and straw, and
chains, and scourges—have said to such an invitation ! In
one of the richest and most beautiful vicinages of London,
about a mile up the hill from Sion House, shaded and dig-
nified by oaks, ancient elms, and blooming horse- chestnuts,
and adorned by shrubbery, flower-bed, and general vernal
verdure, we found Wykehouse, a seat of the Earl of Jersey,
and rented by Dr. Costello, as an establishment for the safety
and cure of the richer insane. The bell at the gate was an-
swered by a servant, who conducted us to the house through
a perfect flush of lilacs, laburnums, rhododendrons, and
flowering shrubs of all descriptions ; and, as one symptom of
the safety of the place, we met a nurse carrying an infant, a
child of the doctor's.
As the family had begun dinner, we were introduced at
once to the dining-room, m which sat at table the master and
mistress of the house, with eight gentlemen, all patients.
We were cordially received by our host and his lady, and
introduced to the rest of the company, who rose to welcome
us. During the meal, we were the objects of much polite
attention. Each individual seemed to wish to take his
share of the duty of dispensing hospitalities; offering
the condiments, recommending the dish near 'him,
remarking on the topics of the season and the
day, bnd showing much curiosity to hear our
news and ascertain our sentiments. During the time we
were at table, not a word, look, or gesture occurred which
could have raised the slightest suspicion that we were not in
the company of the perfectly sane. One of the patients, a
clergyman, who performs the religious exercises of the house,
including a sermon on Sunday, was asked to return thanks,
which he did with becoming reverence, when the eight gen-
tlemen rose and retired from the table, leaving us with our
host and hostess.
We were in a spacious and elegant dining-room built ba-
the celebrated " Jack Robinson," who, before Joseph Hume 's
time, feathered his nest from the consolidated fund to so au-
dacious an extent, that Sheridan called the attention of Par-
liament to his practices; and when challenged to name the
delinquent, declined, though he added he could as easily have
named him as say " Jack Robinson." The dining-room was built
for the visits of George 111., of whom Robinson was a favourite
He built extensive ranges of bedrooms in barrack fashion
for numerous guests of rank, of whom his lavish house was
always full; which apartments have been found conveniently
convertible to the present purposes of the mansion. Before
leaving the table for a walk in the grounds and gardens, we
were favoured by our host with a brief exposition of his
mode of dealing with his patients, powerfully suggesting
the advance which has been made in the treatment of
the insane during the last fifty years. The inmates of
this establishment are under no personal restraint whatever.
There is not a strait-waistcoat, a belt, or pair of hand-mufflers,
under the roof. Taking advantage of the fact, that there
is much more sanity than insanity in the great majority
of the insane, and of the improved knowledge now ac-
quired on the nature of insanity itself, the paroxysms of
which alone require watching, Dr. and. Mrs. Costello (for
the lady does a large and most important part of the
duty) direct all their moral energies upon the balance of
sanity remaining in the patient's favour, and always
with the most satisfactory results. Confidence is re-
posed ; the patient's word of honour is trusted to,
and seldom if ever broken. The beautiful grounds and
gardens are freely ranged ; even the neighbourhood is
free to some. An elegant drawing-room, where the
lady presides, is open the place secures decorum. The
lady's power is an interesting phenomenon ; it seems to
be, and really is, greater than her husband's. None but
gentlemen can come into her mild and gentle presence;
and we were assured that a look from her, still more, a
quiet caution, will check a strong man who may for the
moment be in danger of forgetting himself. It is re-
markable how seldom the hallucinations of the patients
come out into the dining-room or drawing-room. These
are voted "parish business," and a bore; and although
one of the party might just have discovered the longi-
tude or the perpetual motion, another received the
thanks of Parliament for a victory, or a third a judg-
ment in Chancery, declaring him master of millions, not
a word would be heard on those tempting topics in the
drawing-room or at the dinner-table of Wykehouse. A
breach of these mild yet rigid laws would be followed
by the temporary exclusion of the individual, with the full
approbation of the rest. Abuse of liberty is punished by
narrowing by degrees its limits, till it is at last circum-
scribed by the wall of a paved court. No one needs to stay
long there; but enlargement has its conditions, perfectly
intelligible to every patient in the establishment.
When we walked out, we saw some of the gentlemen
playing with the child, others reading in the beautiful
groves, and three or four assisting Mrs. Costello to cull
and pack an enormous bouquet of lilacs and hawthorn
blossom for a jar in the drawing-room. We joined the
party, and assisted, and were much struck with the
gallantry, politeness, and respect with which the lady
was treated. This direction of female influence is a new
element in its various applications in society. It re-
forms the imprisoned criminal ; it purifies and huma-
nises the educators of the young of the rougher sex ;
it exercises a power over the insane themselves that
renders them as pliant as children. Yet Mrs. Costello
is a slight, little woman, whom any one of the subjects
over whom she rules could annihilate in an instant. In-
deed, we should say that the insane arc peculiarly amen
able to just such an influence ; for filar malady in most
cases produces a simplicity of general character, often almost
child-like.
We assembled at tea in the drawing-room, and en-
joyed an hour of general conversation, when the party
again dispersed through the grounds; and as we drove off in
the twilight of a beautiful June evening, we had hands held
out to us by the near, and hats lifted by the distant, till the
gate shut behind us, and we were on our road to London.
On our way, Dr. Costello, who accompanied us, showedic on
account villa or cottage a mile or two from Wykehouse, which,
account of its romantic groves and large lake teeming with
fish, he has taken on lease, as a sort of occasional holiday and
pic-nit resort for his well-behaved patients.
Dr. Costello had just then published a letter to Lord
Ashley, on the reform of private asylums for the insane.
A copy of that pamphlet is now before us. It is an appeal
in behalf of the rich insane for legislative protection.

should be in cheerful rural situations, where the inmates
may avail themselves of the composing and health-re-
storing effects of husbandry and gardening. Within
doors, the patient should find no deprivation of his ac-
customed conveniences, comforts, luxuries, and even
elegancies ; but rather an improvement in them all.
While deprecating the idea of surrounding the patient
of condition with unnecessary deprivations in externals.

will While delirium runs high, it is true,
external l be too little noticed to suggest un-
favourable comparisons; but this stage is often evanes-
cent, often only periodical, and the bitter pang is felt in
full force when the mist begins to clear away. The poor
derive benefit from the better food and better care of
the public asylum, and can we doubt the influence of
causes relatively the same in regard to the rich ? The
internal arrangements, therefore, of a private asylum,
should be in accordance with the tastes and occupations
of the inmates ; and the tedium of uniformity must be
prevented by such aids as are employed for the same
purpose in every-day life. Billiards, books, and music,
are not enough. There must be social re-unions, and
even dancing, with a view to affording opportunities of
mixing in the society of persons of sound mind. This is a
point in the moral treatment of great importance. To have
the world and its recreations brought, from time to time,
into contact with the insane, is less valuable even as an
amusement or a pastime, than as a means of satisfying
them, especially when allowed to meet their friends or
relatives, not only that they are not forgotten, but that
their return to that world, its business and its duties, is'still
looked for with anxiety and delight. How much of happi-
ness, how much of sanity, do they secure by this oft-pre-
sented idea
"If one could forget early impre sions, and in-
stances of proved delinquency in some ill-conducted establish-
mants, we should modify our feelings in a great degree as re-
gards private asylums. Proofs of the most interesting de-
scription abound, to show that these are anything but places
to inspire horror.
" When well-conducted, and there are many such,
mirth and cheerfulness—not forced or feigned—appear to
be pervading influence. Lasting friendships are often
formed; and many whom restored mental health recalls
to the world, experience lively and sincere regrets in
parting with those whose care or companionship had so-
laced them under so heavy a dispensation ; and many, too,
would remain, preferring to any other abode that which
friends had consigned them to in the hour of affliction.
" The fatuity group in an asylum is, or ought to be, as-
sociated in conversation, light reading, and all the diversified
occupations that embellish refined society, with no other
restraint than what individual circumstances may require,
and the enlightened kindness of the head of the house may
dictate.
"In this ideal of an establishment, the patients are the
guests and associates of the physician and his family, and
without such dictatorship and association it cannot be re-
alised. In his own person are combined the charac-
ters of parent, friend, guide, and physician, and this
amounts to saying that he is indispensable. To him is
assigned the task of moderating the impressions from
without—of regulating, through the medium of his
own family, the desirable degree of intercourse with the
world ; his table and his family circle are the sole, safe chan-
nels for such intercourse. Here the first public efforts of a
' returning healthy mental activity meets its needed encou
' ragements, and here, too, the poor sufferer, doomed never to
kn my the delights of recovery, experiences protection, and
even pleasure, to the full measure of his blighted faculties.
Advantages so obviously desirable are p'aced completely, and
perhaps voluntarily. out of the reach of patients kept at home
or in private families, and the case is even worse where
they are confided to keepers or servants, with the occasional
attendance of a medical man. Under such circum-
stances, cure is not only likely to be marred. but it may
be wilfully and maliciously prevented. The continued
employment of these attendants depends on the con-
tinuation of the malady; the resources available for moral
treatment from uninterrupted intercourse with persons of
their own station, are wasted, from their inferiority. of social
position, want of education, or irritability of disposition,
which in the circumstances we are contemplating,
is uncon-
trolled, and therefore the more likely to arise. Fretfulness
ad bickering, as permanent conditions of the patient's mind,
conduced by the small excesses of an unreasoning domestic
authority, which he is ever ready to dispute, either in fear
or in anger, can have BO other than unfavourable conse-
quences. He distrusts and dreads his attendant, and the latter,
goaded by what he considers injustice and ingratitude in the
patient, gives way to peevishness, aud, by way of beginning
the monotony of the occupation, repays him with sour looks,
coarse and contemptuous language, neglect, or something
worse. The effect of treatment in which caprice and recrimi-
nation, waywardness, and spite, hold such unhappy sway,

The LORD MATOR—I consider the case a very bad one indeed. You
came to me, and mentioned, in the most plausible manner, certain
circumstances as having occurred which had never taken place.
I relieved what I considered to be your immediate necessities, and
I told you to let me ace you again. I then, at your entreaty, let
you have a sovereign, which you said you would return in a week,
but I told you that the repayment would answer at the end of a
month, when your wages at Hounslow would capacitate you to
make restitution. lii everything you have acted the impostor.
I know all about it, and I know with whom you went into a pub.
lic.house when you received the money which the recital of your
pretended misfortunes wrung out of me, so that my experience of
your conduct affords an additional argument in justification of the
decision to which I come upon the evidence before me. We have
here abundance of real objects to exercise our pity upon. I con-
vict you as a rogue and vagabond, and sentence you to hard
labour in Bridewell for three calendar months.
The prisoner—What could I do, my Lord ? I acknowledge
that I deceived you ; but what on earth could I do? I am en-
