This I will now do. 1 havo visited tho institution threo timos, and onch H{mo'T havo hiad duo courtesios oxtondod,— all my quostions boing cheorfully answorad, and ovory opportunity furnished ma for a thorongh inepoction. . Thronghout, overything exhibits the utmost cleanliness, with nn nir of homoliko comfort, and thoro scomed to bo an enjoymont (undor .tho circumstancos) of pleasant soclnl lifo. Tho greatest kindliness and frisndlinens wero oxhibited botwaon tho pliysiclans and pa- tionts; and a word of congratulation, comfort, or consolation was over ready to bo extendod to the poor demented erontures. - - TIHE: PREVALENCE OF INBANITY, unliko most other forms of afiliction, cannot bo catimatod oxcept by tlhoso actunlly engaged in tho work of inquiry. Coucealod from obsorva- tion In almost all but the humblest walks of life, tho oxtont of the disenso is truly startling, and oven publio oflicors, tho naturs of whose dutios wo would, oxpect to familinrizo them with tho subject, aro searcely propared for tho dovolop- ments of earofully-compiled statistics,” Insanity doos not raigo 1tsol? into prominonce bofore tho publio; tho community almost involuntarily turns from its contomplation, and ils attondaut sorrowa are far too distressing to bo obtrusivo. Ita relation to tho public in another conncction las beon’ generally misapprelonded. Wo have como almost-labitually to regard it as ono of the circumstances,. to- say tho lonst, of penury and want; but on intelligent investigation of ho whole subject Lias shown that it stands third on tho list of cousos of paupcrism. Tho progross of a contury has proseuted & most siriking foa- ture in the.history of insanity, by the success that has attended the -modorn treatmont of tho divoase, . In ‘oldon times, tho condition of tho Insano, and the cruclty and negloct to which they wero subjected, fitl ono of tho darkest pages in tho- history'of humnn sorrow. Thrust indls: criminatoly into ‘“mnd-houses,” or “rocepta- clog,” with * dark, closo prison-colls, thoy wero abandonod to uttor holplossncss and hopolosenes, With .theso buildings, and their brutal * keopers," with whips, chalns, aud manacles, was nssociated everything that was terrible, Bays ono, in describing them, * Thero Wworo no amusements, no choorful oceupation, no books, no nuimating change or varloty of any kind, no sciontiflo treatment, no religious conso- Intion. Tho chapel-bell assemblod tho pationts for prayer, .or suspended tho flerce, dreadful thoughts and cursos of tho dungeon ; no friondly faco did good like a medicine,” Butnow n chango lina appeared, and a connoctod and philanthrople systom of modical and. moral troatment hias worked wonders in the amelioration and curo of insanity. Ono of the modorn institutions for the curo and caro of this disenso in tho MICHIGAN BTATE INSANE ABYLUY, sitanted hero. The buildiugs composing the Asylum for tho confinement and troatmont of the insane comprige tyo immense, Landsoma brick structares, of tho Italian style of arehne tectaro, this being found lighter, moro cheerful, and logs expanive, for such an extonsive rango of buildings,—the principal one being tho Asy- lum propor; the other, the now oxtension. Thoy are built on'a firo-proof eystem, and tho plang of arrangement, etc, are aftor thomo adopted and laid. down by tho Association of Modical Buperintondents of Amorican Institu- tiona fortho Insane.. Everything ju-of tho most golid and substantial workmanship, Tho com- binod accommodations are sufficient for nearly 000 patienta.. . The location of tho buildings Ia upon an irregular eminonco, commanding. s sxtended prospect, and thay aro surrounded by BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS of over 200 acros in extont, coverod with hand- some groves, promenndes, drives, and other pleasura-rosorta.. . In the roar of tho buildings tho land 18 broken, and falls,.by a Bories of ra- vines covored with trees, somo distanco down to tho valley bolow, through which flows a rapid stroam of pure wator, But a small proportion of tha grounds arc yot under cultivation, though it in intonded to davota thom all to that purposo, with the exception of somo 60 ncres. The arrangoments for furnishing : WARMTII AND VENTILATION to tho buildings are most completo. .
