168 psl. - When sated with the martial show That peopled all the plain below, The wandering eye could o'er it go, And mark the distant city glow 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...
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...
124 psl. - SCHEDULE (A). I hereby certify, on Soul and Conscience, that I have, within a Period not exceeding One Month preceding the Date of this Certificate, carefully reviewed and considered the Cases of the Patients whose Names are subjoined, and I am of opinion that their continued Detention in the Asylum is necessary and proper for their own Welfare [or for the Public Safety, as the Case may be].
114 psl. - An Act for the Regulation of the Care and Treatment of Lunatics, and for the Provision, Maintenance, and Regulation of Lunatic Asylums, in Scotland.
109 psl. - The victim was an insane old woman belonging to the parish of Loth, who had so little idea of her situation as to rejoice at the sight of the fire which was destined to consume her. 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...

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...
