Excerpt from Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy to the Lord Chancellor: Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty We, the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy, beg to submit to your Lordship the following Report, relating to the several matters entrusted to our care. As our duties have been materially increased, by the provisions of the Act 5 & 6 Vic. c. 87, which have enabled us to inspect the condition of the various public and private Asylums throughout England and Wales, beyond as well as within the limits of the Metropolitan district, we think it right to report to your Lordship the result of our experience, in a more minute and specific way than we have heretofore been accustomed to do. Your Lordship is aware that the legislative provisions now is force relative to Lunatic Asylums in England, are for the most part comprised in the public Acts of 9 Geo. IV. c. 40; 2 & 3 Will. IV. c. 107; and 5 & 6 Vic. c. 87. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
