Insanity: Its Causes, Prevention, and Treatment
Excerpt from Insanity: Its Causes, Prevention, and Treatment
Subject dealing with one of the most dreadful maladies to which human flesh is heir, and which may afflict our dearest and nearest relations, can hardly fail to arouse interest. It is this reflection which has emboldened me to pen the following lines in which I have endeavoured to trace, as briefly as is consistent with the importance of the subject, the different phases of insanity and its treatment. I may be allowed to mention, for the benefit of any critic into whose hands this volume may fall, that I have no pretension.
