To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is now more than thirty years since the laws of this Commonwealth have authorized their commitment to prison, whenever their being at large, should, in the opinion of two magis- trates, be judged " dangerous to the peace or safety of the good people." It is a well authenticated fact, that those, upon whom the first attack of insanity is most violent, and who are therefore more liable, from the ve- hemence of its assaults, to commit outrages upon the persons or property of others, are also mo...st easily cured.
Our laws, therefore, by authorizing their confinement, whenever, in the throes and paroxysms of their malady, they may have threatened aggression or excited alarm, 13 have at once removed the most hopeful cases beyond the reach of recovery. It may be emphatically repeat- ed, heijond the reach of recovery, for, from all the inqui- ries made by the Commissioners upon this subject, they have never heard of more than three or four instances of restoration, among all those who have been subject- ed to the rigors of a confinement, in Jails and Houses of Correction ; while well regulated Institutions for the reception and appropriate treatment of the insane, have returned fifty, sixty and in some instances ninety per cent, of recoveries.
