They want that firmness of character which is necessary for decision and self-government. For this, or some other reason, a gentleman with whom the author was schoolfellow in his boyish days, re- mained by choice with the keeper of an establish- ment many years after he had been pronounced fit to leave it. It is not necessary in all cases to send the patient to an asylum. A change of scene producing new ideas, and an interruption of existing habits, is the essential circumstance ; and this may ...be sometimes accomplished by a journey sufficiently long, divided by easy stages, and temporary halting-places, such as a continental tour, or a sojourn at the house of a friend at some distance. It is the principle alone for which we are contending. But to diminish in some degree the aversion with which the friends of patients are apt to regard this part of the treatment, and overcome their reluctance to make use of it at an early period, when recovery is so much more certain than afterwards, we will suppose a mild case of partial insanity, and show how it would be treated in a respectable asylum.
