Excerpt from A Manual of Psychological Medicine: Containing the History, Nosology, Description, Statistics, Diagnosis, Pathology, and Treatment of Insanity, With an Appendix of Cases The Authors of the following pages have long felt the want of a systematic treatise on Insanity, adapted to the use of students and practitioners in Medicine. Numerous monographs and works on limited portions of Psychological Medicine have appeared of late years. They are of great value to the specialist physician, but they do not meet the oft-repeated inquiry of the student and practitioner, - "To what systematic treatise on Insanity can I refer?" Dr. Prichard's excellent 'Treatise on Insanity' has undoubtedly been the one which hitherto has most nearly afforded the desired information; but it was written a quarter of a century ago, at a time when the Treatment of Insanity bore an aspect entirely different to its present one; and, moreover, it is now out of print. A knowledge of the nature and treatment of Insanity is now expected of every well-educated man. The India Board require it of all persons to whom medical appointments arc given under their new system of competitive examination. It is reasonable to expect that the good example thus set will be followed in other quarters; and a desire to obtain a competent knowledge of this important branch of medical practice has become far more general in the profession than it ever before has been.
