We are glad to be able to record that the inauguration of the statue of the illustrious Pinel successfully took place at the Salpêtrière on the 13th of July, 1885, a century, within eight years, after the commencement of the great work which he accomplished at that institution and at the Bicêtre; indeed the associations of the majority of persons familiar with the courageous reform introduced by Pinel is rather with the latter hospital than with the former.
