Excerpt from Documents of the Assembly of the State of New-York, Fifty-Ninth Session, 1836, Vol. 1: From No. 1 to No. 42 Inclusive With the fullest conviction that it is the duty of the government to give to the insane, and especially to the insane poor, for whom as yet comparatively little has been done, the benefit of a proper institution, I most earnestly call your attention to the subject. In my Annual Message of 1834, I presented my views of the strong claims which this forlorn class of our fellow beings have upon the Legislature for its assistance, and the great public and individual advantages which would result from a well regulated institution of this kind. To these views I refer you with an urgent request that you will not suffer this session to pass without satisfying a claim supported by so many and such powerful considerations.
