Extract

The question of the revision of legislation in regard to the insane is, at this time, under consideration both in England and in France. In England Parliament has been occupied with various projects of law, results more or less direct of the parliamentary inquiry of 1877. In France the Government has charged a Commission composed of Senators, Deputies, Administrators, and Physicians, to study the improvements that might be introduced into this legislation.
