Being an Account of Two Days, in the Autumn of 1844, passed at that
philosophically conducted Asylum for the Insane. By ARTHUR WALLBRIDGE.
Foolscap 8vo. with Two Engravings, _Price_ 2_s._ 6_d._
"Instead of a silly puff of some real lunatic asylum, as we
surmised from the advertisement, it proves to be a quaint _jeu
d'esprit_, satirising the present arrangements of society.
Torrington Hall is, in fact, a clever little volume of innovatory
ideas with regard to the definition of madness and the principle of
competition.
"The volume contains conversations on the present arrangements of
society, and the means of improving them—all pointing to a plan
which shall realise fully the dictates of Christianity, and make
the world a scene of pleasant affection, instead of one of fretful
contention."—_Chambers' Edinburgh Journal._
