Excerpt from The Construction and Government of Lunatic Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane The construction, arrangement, and government of Asylums for the Insane are subjects at this time so important, in consequence of the many new asylums about to be built in England and Wales, and in Ireland, as well to deserve very careful consideration. Like everything connected with such institutions, they are of consequence in relation to the treatment of the patients, to their bodily as well as to their mental health, to their comfort or to their recovery. In offering some observations on these subjects, the result of my experience as a Physician for some years resident in one of the largest asylums in the world, I would first remark, that a lunatic asylum is intended to be not merely a place of security but a place of cure, and that every case of insanity is curable or improvable up to a certain point.
