Such dusky grandeur clothed the height, Where the huge Castle holds its state, And all the...
168 psl. - With gloomy splendour red ; For on the smoke-wreaths, huge and slow, That round her sable turrets flow, The morning beams were shed, And tinged them with a lustre proud, Like that which streaks a thunder-cloud. Such dusky grandeur clothed the height, Where the huge castle holds its state, And all the steep slope down, Whose ridgy back heaves to the sky, Piled deep and massy, close and high, Mine own romantic town...

She had -a daughter lame both of hands and feet, a circumstance attributed to the witch's having been used to transform her into a pony, and get her shod by the Devil.
195 psl. - Men covered with filth cowered in cells of stone, cold, damp, without air or light, and furnished with a straw bed that was rarely renewed, and which soon became infectious — frightful dens where we should scruple to lodge the vilest animals. The insane thrown into these receptacles were at the mercy of their attendants, and these attendants were convicts from prison. The unhappy patients were loaded with chains and bound like galley slaves.
19 psl. - A stout iron ring was riveted round his neck, from which a short chain passed to a ring, made to slide upwards or downwards on an upright massive iron bar, more than six feet high, inserted into the wall ; round his body, a strong iron bar, about two inches wide, was riveted ; on each side the bar was a circular projection, which being fashioned to, and enclosing each of his arms, pinioned them close to his sides...
19 psl. - ... both before and behind ; the iron ring round his neck was connected to the bars on his shoulders by a double link ; from each of these bars another short chain passed to the ring on the upright iron bar.
297 psl. - Past experience, it seems to me, has demonstrated that large mingled institutions are not effective agencies in the care of insanity. In many particulars the requirements of the acute insane are more exacting than those of the chronic. These include special structural arrangements, very close medical attention, a large corps of specially qualified attendants, and a prescribed diet. If a standard of care suitable to the necessities of the acute insane is adopted by a large institution receiving both...
