Excerpt from Recollections of the Bench and the Bar of Central Illinois: A Lecture Read Before the Chicago Bar Association, Fairbank Hall, Wednesday Evening, January 12, 1881 On another occasion, in 1838, I stopped at a cabin in Logan County, near the site where the magnificent institution for the feeble-minded, has recently been erected by the State. The woman complained very much because the population was becoming too dense. She said her family would be compelled to remove further west, where they would not be troubled by so many neighbors. In the morning, I discovered one house in sight, and no more, and in the direction of Springfield it was about eight miles to the nearest farm.
