Insanity, Its Classification, Diagnosis, and Treatment e-bog

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 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.
