To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few days after, a petition of the noblemen, gentlemen, freeholders, justices for the peace, commissioners of supply, and other heritors of the County of Ayr, was presented against it. Persistent obstruction triumphed, and the act was rejected.
" How much legislation was needed at this period is well shown by the description by a philanthropist (Mr. J. J. Gurney) of the condition of the lunatics in the Perth Tol- booth. In his investigations, Mr. Gurney was accompanied by his indefatigable sis...ter, Mrs. Fry. " Mr. Grurney's report reads like one of Miss Dix's own to State legislatures in America : " Solitary confinement, dark closets far more like the dens of wild animals than the habitations of mankind, cold and nakedness, no resident in the house to superintend these afflicted persons, poor demented wretches, treated exactly as if they had been beasts. " " Scotland south of Edinburgh and Glasgow [continues Dr. Tuke] had not, nntil 1839, any retreat or place of con- finement for the insane, except six squalid stone cells at- tached to the public hospital of Dumfries.
