A Few Notes on Lunacy in France, suggested by a Recent Visit to French Asylums

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Having recently visited, and as regards some of them, revisited many of the French Asylums, I propose to bring under your notice to-day, as briefly as possible, three or four prominent subjects of interest, which more especially attracted my attention. I shall not now attempt to describe the asylums which I visited, but merely to bring into as strong relief as possible those matters in which there is a difference of practice between our own country and France, either generally or in regard to the practice of some celebrated French alienists.
