Excerpt from Notes on Asylums for the Insane: In AmericaThe following Notes, which appeared in the pages of the Lance! During the present year, formed part of a controversy on the treatment of the Insane in the United States, which has now been happily ended by the Editor of the Lancet making the statement in his issue of September 16th, that he has neither said nor implied that there were no good and well-managed asylums in the United States nor has he stigmatised the alienists of America as 'mad-doc'tors' in reproach, and con demned the whole body of psychologists across the'atlantic for faults in which they do not all participate. The Editor of the Lancet has, moreover, done an act of justice to Dr. Nichols, the President of the Association of Superinten~ dents of American Asylums, by publishing the verdict which was unanimously agreed to by the Committee of Inquiry of Congress, whereby Dr. Nichols was acquitted of the grievous but un founded charges made against him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
