Among the charitable and benevolen,
institutions of the age, there is one un.
fortunate class Cor which little enquiry
has been made, and less done to improve
their condition. l allude 10 the Imbecile
and Idiotic. The first Asylum for Idiots,
in England, was established in G olchest
ter in 1s47. 1t was supposed there,
until that period, that nothing could be
done for the benefit of the Idiot, and
that their number way very limited. In
both particulars, it appears, fiom actual
statistics, and experience at the Col
chester Asylum, that an entirely erro-
neous opinion had prevailed. sob ttf
