NOTE.-Brackets in the text denote: 1. A conjectural emendation. 2. An
amendment to the original section. Punctuation is in every case that of the work
cited. Spelling and use of capital letters have been made uniform. The tables
of contents have been made without reference to the marginal notes, which are
those of the various statutes. In the tables the words "asylum,” “insane” and
"indigent insane" have been uniformly used. The word "ibid" has been omitted
in the citations when the paragraphs have been taken from a revised statute or
code whose sections are numbered consecutively. Where a chapter is cited without
a date it refers to a revised statute or code already cited. When a date appears
it is cited from the pamphlet laws. The laws of England are exceptions to this.
