Summary:

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. When the close of active professional exertions is felt to be approaching, and the pressure of that period aut jam urgentis aut certe adventantis senectutis becomes perceptible, a natural wish arises in the mind of any man who has been especially engaged in what he regards as a good and useful work to leave the work, if not finished, yet secure; or if not yet secure, at least advanced by his labours, and as little incomplete as the shortness of his life, and the limitation of his opportunities, permit.

Notes:

Includes extracts from the annual reports of Hanwell asylum, 1839-1849: p. 192-273.
