The details connected with insanity in these various institutions are very accurately described. The population of New South Wales in the year 1879 was 734,282, and the proportion of insane to the population was 1 in 365, or 2*74. The statistical tables are very carefully compiled, and we congratulate Dr. Manning on the excellency of his Report.
