Hiram Chase's "Two Years and Four Months in a Lunatic Asylum" is an extraordinary firsthand account that unveils the harrowing and often grim reality of life inside a 19th-century lunatic asylum. With unflinching honesty, Chase takes readers on a poignant journey through his personal odyssey, offering a rare glimpse into the conditions, treatments, and experiences endured by individuals labeled as mentally ill during that era. His narrative is a testament to both the resilience of the human spirit and the complexities of mental health care during a time when understanding and compassion were scarce. Chase's courageous storytelling not only serves as a poignant reminder of the injustices of the past but also as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on the evolution of mental health care and the ongoing pursuit of empathy and humane treatment for individuals facing mental health challenges. "Two Years and Four Months in a Lunatic Asylum" stands as a powerful and thought-provoking testimony that continues to resonate with contemporary discussions on mental health and the rights of those affected by it.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Two Years and Four Months in a Lunatic Asylum: From August 20th, 1863, to December 20th, 1865 Another reason which has deterred me from giving to the world the history of those two years, is the fact, that a number of inmates of lunatic 'asylums in this country have given to the public their views of asylum life, and one especially, who was in the asylum at Utica, and discharged just before I entered it. I could not help noticing the effect these productions produced on society. In many instances the history was read only to laugh, and pity the insanity of the writer. This case referred to, was a lady from Syracuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"I regard this as the unvarnished statement of facts. In my opinion this narrative should be printed and widely circulated." -Chas. Devol, M.D. "I know men in the asylum who were thrown in there by their friends, under some peculiar influence, who have been there from six to fifteen years; and they are the same now as when they entered it, not insane, but perhaps a little eccentric, or may entertain some notions on religion or philosophy that are not regarded orthodox. They are in good health, perfectly harmless, and, so far as I could judge, would make better inhabitants than one-fourth of the people that are at large. "The question now arises--"What would you have done to remedy the evil of putting men and women in the asylum that should never go there?" My answer is, that I would so change the laws that two inexperienced quack doctors could not govern the destinies of the people of a whole county. I would first require that those men who are to decide on the fate of their neighbors should be men of experience and discretion, and that there should be at least five of them in a county, chosen by the people for that purpose; I would also require that the patient be brought before a jury of twelve men, who shall decide the matter after the five doctors have examined the patient and given their opinions. "I would annihilate that argument so often used to induce the ignorant and the innocent to become willing to go to that den of death!"

The prisons and asylums of Canada and the United States were a popular destination for institutional tourists in the nineteenth-century. Thousands of visitors entered their walls, recording and describing the interiors, inmates, and therapeutic and reformative practices they encountered in letters, diaries, and articles. Surprisingly, the vast majority of these visitors were not members of the medical or legal elite but were ordinary people. Prisons, Asylums, and the Public argues that, rather than existing in isolation, these institutions were closely connected to the communities beyond their walls. Challenging traditional interpretations of public visiting, Janet Miron examines the implications and imperatives of visiting from the perspectives of officials, the public, and the institutionalized. Finding that institutions could be important centres of civic activity, self-edification, and 'scientific' study, Prisons, Asylums, and the Public sheds new light on popular nineteenth-century attitudes towards the insane and the criminal.
