Insanity, Its Classification, Diagnosis, and Treatment - A Manual for Students and Practitioners of Medicine #252181

The present work was originally intended to cover no other ground than the Definition, Classification, and Diagnosis of Insanity. The requests and suggestions of his pupils and professional friends have induced the writer to enlarge the original essay to the dimensions of a general treatise. In so doing, special stress has been laid on those points which will probably prove comparatively new to many American readers, and which it might be naturally expected would find a place in the first systematic treatise on insanity published on this side of the Atlantic since the days of the immortal Rush.
