"At the height of his power Thomas Arnold held a monopoly not only on the lunacy trade in Leicestershire but also together with his sons of the post of physician at Leicester Infirmary. A supporter of radical causes Arnold's career in Leicester was marked by his involvement in struggles for social status and political influence . Arnold's principal medical work is the two-volume OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURE KINDS CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF INSANITY LUNACY OR MADNESS 1782 1786 which ran to two editions and a German translation. In it he abandoned the traditional humoral theories basing his classification on the ideas of Locke and separating disordered sensations from disordered reasoning. He helped to pioneer a new approach to insanity based on observed symptoms but his classification was too detailed to be practical and it never became popular. Arnold is representative of a shift towards the 'moral' treatment of the insane" - DNB. POTTLE 24. ROTHSCHILD 442. GASKELL FOULIS PRESS 473. ESTC T26157.

‎Boswell's Life of Johnson‎

‎London New York and Toronto: Oxford University Press / Geoffrey Cumberlege 1953 Reprint edition. Finely bound by Bayntun in full red polished calf with five raised bands to spine boards double-ruled in gilt compartments and bands decorated in gilt green morocco spine label lettered in gilt text block edges gilt with gilt board edges and turn-ins purple marbled endpapers. A near fine copy with a few scratches to boards and some wear to front hinge including a half-inch closed tear to the leather at the top of the hinge else tight and clean. One of the most famous biographies in the history of this literary form Boswell's Life of Johnson describes the life of Samuel Johnson a poet essayist literary critic and lexicographer. Johnson's 1755 publication of A Dictionary of the English Language was regarded as the preeminent English dictionary until the Oxford English Dictionary was published in 1928. He published several other works throughout his life including an edition of Shakespeare's plays with critical annotations that would inspire the various supposed authoritative Shakespeare texts that followed by other editors. Boswell's biography first published in 1791 is known for its vivid detail. Though the biographer met his subject late in Johnson's life his extensive research allowed him to portray a comprehensive picture of Johnson's life. Indeed modern scholars have used Boswell's description of Johnson's mannerisms and sometimes disconcerting physical gestures to put together a posthumous diagnosis of what is now known as Tourette's Syndrome. Notably this reprint edition by the Oxford University Press is based on the third edition published in 1799 which was the last to be published with Boswell's own revisions. Hard Cover. Near Fine.
