If occupied according to tho original intention of the Legislature as au omyluni for lunatics soma general legislative enactment for or ganising and governing the Wstitutkm, will become ^npcrativeiv necessary. And as the expefunent in this countr) is entirely -new, it will doubtless call for very careful consideration in duly maturing a law, so as to ensure to the establishment a successful and nsctui opemaion. Every public institu tion of tHfaisort may l>e considered as dt visa* b!e, into three classes. - 1st. As a pladn of safe keeping of lunatics,' as a protection ol themselves ami the com-' ntnnuy against, their maniacal annoyances violence, aad danger.. 3d. A* an assy lum of safety and comfort for them, and for the cure ol their mental maladies. Or, 3dly. -It Is intended to.combine both these important objects, and to render it at onec a place of recovery front thelnPteasr* of safcty to themselves and a means of protection to society. . The first of . these is a mere measure of i police rcgul tioiu the second is only u meu- 1 sure of humanity, and betieficcucc; and the third combines the two. In Great Britain, until recently, these es tablishments both public and private, might be consUlcftrd .as only forming a part of the police regulations of the country, unci for the most part really places of impraonmcni. uud punishment, rather than nssylums lor ameliorating the unfortunate and miseiabic condition ofthesc people. Any system that doe* not combine the safety, comfort, ami cure of the lunatics, and provide for the protection of society against tnaniacul annoyances violence, and danger, would not comport with the humanity und intelligence of the enlightened uge in Uhrrh we live. In carr>ing this system into effect, *hc plan must be partly eleemosynary and partiy h> compensation. I'.tupcr lunatics might pn bably to be supported by the Oenev olent r funds of the distrks from whtnet. ti.v, an stsnt, whilst with such us arc ablr, the p*> should be grvdoatcd according to their lank aud ability. i Would it not be wise uml bei.evolent 10 in clude amongst the inmates ol the institution subjects of idioc) and epilepsy us well a* lu natics?
