OF moral and fcigned insanity the report remarks
as follows OF moral. or perhaps more correctly,
immoral insanity. nine cases have been under our
care; two Of the m have been admitted within the

sinner (two were lads) up to the most aggravated
form Of the genuine disease. We have an idea
that remedy not much known 10 m0dera science.
but in vogue in the days Of Solomon, commenced
early, and faithfully pc rseyered with, would have
been emintnty succt ssful In preventing the de-
veopement Of The disease, or al least srresting

patients is the exact counterpart II not the den-
iical fellow, seen by Mr. George Combe. IN the

OF moral feeling and principle, Vet pos sessee in
telligence, ingenuity, and plausibil,ty. He has
been q scourge 10 his family from childhood, was

was turned out as an iucorrl2ible villain, always
fighting and getting drunk, for which he was re-
peatedly logged. BY seclusion he became so
sayt &c ae TO render the task OF entering his room
and supply ing his wants by no means enviable, and
W hen at large he often assaults those around him.
His chief eDjoyments are eating and lighting, and
although he ~ constantly endeavorng 10 "get out
OF theee barracks, he seems to have no particular
object in view but the more free indulge nee OF
those prop nsit.s In all but this one case, moral
treatment alone has accomplished our object, but
on him little moral influence can be exerled.
