The power of one violent and fudden 
emotion, in breaking a Iéng continued 
and apparently firmly fixed chain of dif- 
eafed affociations, was a fhert time fince 
exhibited in the inftance of a female 
who, for mental derangement, was 
immured in one of thofe private houfes 
that are fo profufely feattered about the 
Vicinity of this metropolis. By an acci- 
dent, her clothes caught fire. Her per- 
fon was refcued from material injury ; 
and, what was ftill more fortunate, her 
mind, by this violent fhock of alarm, was 
fpeedily reftored to its former tranquillity 
and tone. She thus happily efcaped from 
a ftate of confinement, which fhe of 
courfe reviews with a natural and a rea- 
fonable horror. There is no prifon fo 
dreadful as that which goes under the de- 
nomination of a lunatic afylum. In 
tnofe melancholy monafterics, or rather 
maufoleums, ‘oo much ground is there to 
fufpedt, that the human intelle& may not 
unfrequently be fepulchred, before it has 
become extinét, or even has been in any 
confiderable or effential degrée injured 
or deranged. But, as foon as an unfer- 
conftitutes the principal portion of their fuf- 
tenance: and that, on the contrary,.in Eng- 
Jand, where more animal diet is devoured 
than perhaps in any other country, apo- 
plexies and fudden deaths are notorioufly fre- 
quent in their occurrence.

tunate object has, by force or fraud, been 
enclofed within the awful and iniurmount- 
able barriers, efpecially of the minor and. 
more clandeftine Bethlehems, the defliny 
of his reafon will in moft cafes be inftantly 
and irretrievably fixed. The idea that he 
is f{uppofed to be infane, is almoft of it- 
felf fofficient to make him fo. And 
when that mede of management is ufed 
with men, which, although generally it 
is, ought not to be applied even to brutes*, 
can we wonder, if it fhould often, in a 
perfon of more than vulgar irritability, 
produce, or at any rate prematurely acce- 
lerate, the la and incurable form of that 
difeafe, to which, in the firft infance, 
there was only a delufive femblance, or 
merely an incipient appr. ximation.

’'+ Bakewell, the late celebrated agricul- 
turift, was accuftomed to conquer the i. fnb- 
ordination and any vicious irregularity of his 
horfes, not by the ordinary routine of whip- 
ping and fpurring, but by the milder and 
more effeGual methed of kindnefs and ca- 
reffes ; and it is worthy of being recollected 
and prattically applied, that although the 
human hes higher faculties than other ani- 
mals, they have ftill many fympathies in 
commen. There are certain laws and feel- 
ings which regulate and govern alike every 
clafs and order of animated exiftence.
