Excerpt from A d104-Book of Insanity and Other Mental Diseases This book was primarily intended for the use of students of medicine, as an introduction to the study of insanity, to give them a general notion of' the subject without going much into detail, and incidentally to be of use to them in examinations. In this object it succeeded so far that it became, I am told, the text-book in use in most of the Universities. It was not intended as an advanced book for those who make a special study of insanity, and in this respect also it has not disappointed its author, for the novel doctrines contained in it do not appear to have become known to them yet.

Excerpt from A d104-Book of Insanity Year by year the students to whom I lecture ask me what book on insanity they ought to study, and year by year I have to recommend books which I know to be excellent in themselves, but which I feel are of such bulk and volume as to be out of proportion to the time which students can profitably give to an outlying subject, and to the vast mass of other material which they have to assimilate during their brief curriculum.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Mental Diseases: With Special Reference to the Pathological Aspects of Insanity It has, however, been my special object to present a resume of our knowledge of the structure and connections of the cerebro-spinal nervous system, of the architecture of the cerebral hemispheres, and more especially of the cortical envelope as the essential organ - the material substratum - of Mind; and to afford a concise account of the morbid changes found in the brain of the insane, as viewed in the light of recent research. It appears to me that a disproportionate amount of attention has been paid in former text-books to the clinical aspects of Insanity, and it is hoped that this attempt to deal more fully with the organisation of the material substratum of mind, and with the evidences of morbid change to which it is prone, will not prove unwelcome to the Student of Mental Disease. In the Anatomical Section, I have endeavoured to comprise such information as shall prove of utility to a more thorough conception of the ground-plan and superstructure of the nervous system; and it will be at once evident that special emphasis has been advisedly bestowed upon the cortical envelope - the structure, nature, and autonomy of the nerve-cell.viii preface. The Clinical Section comprises statistics based upon an analysis of cases of Insanity in both sexes, treated at the West Riding Asylum. In the Pathological Section, I have endeavoured to do justice to certain morbid processes, which appear to me to be of paramount importance in the history of Insanity; and more particularly would I here allude to the functions of the Lymph connective system of the Brain, and the life-history of the Scavenger-cell.

Excerpt from Mental Diseases: A Text-Book of Psychiatry for Medical Students and Practitioners IN this volume I have endeavoured to delineate the salient features of our present knowledge of Psychiatry in as concise a manner as possible. It has been my aim to treat the subject from a general standpoint, without unduly obtruding my own particular experience of asylum and hospital practice. Current literature has been freely consulted, and the latest develop ments in the Psychology and Pathology of Insanity have received attention.
