Excerpt from Lunatic Asylums: Their Organisation and Management There are few departments of man's labour - more completely specialised and more different from the rest than that. Which deals with the management of Lunatic Asylums. It is therefore somewhat remarkable that no system of instructions on this matter has hitherto been published, and that it has been left for the writer of this volume to be the first to treat the Subject systematically. That the practice of different individuals in this, or in any other department of labour should be reduced to uniformity is eminently undesirable, and to advocate uniformity of practice is no part of the object of this book', but it is eminently desirable that there should be agreement as to main principles, that the objects to be striven for should be clearly recognised, that various ways of attaining them Should be discussed, that those already found successful Should be stated, that improved methods should be suggested, and that the isolated and disconnected teachings of experience Should be brought together, combined, systematised, and made readily available to those in search of information.
