Insanity And Its Treatment eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The following Lectures, in an abridged form, were delivered by me at the Schools of St. George''s Hospital, and I now publish them with the hope that they may serve to some extent as a handy book concerning Insanity, on which subject there exist in our language few works of the character of a text-book. Written for students, they make no claim to be a complete treatise on Psychology; neither have all questions connected with Insanity been dis cussed ih them — such as the management of asylums, the problem of dis posing of the crowds Of our chronic patients, or of am ending the present Lunacy law.
