    Dr. and Mrs. Hitchrnan. The happy union which they have dis¬ played of benevolence, firmness, and skill, has in all cases greatly relieved, and, we believe, in every practicable instance cured, the sufferers placed under their management from the most dreadful form of human affliction, and has made useful and self-supporting members of society of those who would otherwise have become burdens to their fellow creatures, and have exhausted their lives in hopeless misery to themselves. We have also much satisfaction in stating that the Commissioners in Lunacy have, on each occasion of their visit to the Asylum, ex¬ pressed their entire approbation of the site and construction of the Building, and of its conduct and management, and that the like favourable opinion has been expressed by the Superintendents of other Asylums, by Medical Visitors, and by Guardians of Unions.
