It is the duty of those who have large opportunities of weighing the necessity of various kinds of seclusion or restraint applied to the insane, and of estimating the advantages of treatment in lunatic asylums, to step forward in opposition to prejudices which, although associated with kind and liberal feelings, are full of mischief and danger.

Hanwell; July 7, 1849.
