To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was a chain of cruelty, ill calculated to heal her infirmity, to restore lost reason. It ( 77 ) It is a lamentable consideration, that these re- xeptaclesfor the poor; these great and benevolent institutions, should be made subservient to the worst of purposes. - Various are the instances within our knowledge, where private mad-houses have been established, not for the laudable pur- . Pose of restoring to miserable lunatics " their lost and scattered senses" but to be the engines of the mo...st foul conspiracies against the peace, happiness, and fortunes/of individuals. Numberless unhap- py victims, in the full enjoyment of their senses, . Have been immured in these infernal mansions for life on a false plea of insanity ! And, I wish I could say, that it was impossible for a parish work- house to be so wickedly perverted but, when I have it from indisputable authority, that a virtuous and respectable woman in the full possession of reason, and capable of fulfilling every domestic duty, is made a sacrifice to the depravity of a de- bauched and unprincipled husband and kept in a parish workhouse as a lunatic it becomes then a duty, which humanity dictates, to bring such dark and cruel proceedings to light and as long as such diabolical practices exist I trust the authors will ever be exposed!
