On the writing of the insane: with illustrations
PREFACE. The following pages are intended merely to furnish illustrations of the writing of the insane, and not to support any particular views. The subject of insanity is one that is practically excluded from the observation of the public, or of the bulk of the medical profession, and it is so of necessity. For this reason I think that any simple recital of facts connected with this speciality must have a certain value, even if not leading to any direct practical issue. It has been my endeavour to place before the reader a series of pictures of insane minds, painted by themselves, and it is for him to draw what lessons he may from the study of them. Looking back myself, with the aid of some years^ familiar experience of the insane, on the histories of the patients who wrote the letters I have given, it to me that I can recognize each case in these documents, and I hope, therefore, that others may derive some useful impressions from their perusal. The cases are meant to speak for themselves, and I have avoided encumbering them with many comments. There is no particular novelty in them. Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
