One of the first systematic attempts to classify and describe the varieties of mental illness. "Esquirol coined the term monomania a concept which anticipated the modern view of schizophrenia and he was the first to distinguish hallucination from illusion. While at Salpêtrière where he succeeded Pinel as chief physician Esquirol introduced formal instruction in psychiatry and gained support for Pinel's humanitarian reform movements by lecturing throughout Europe . Des maladies mentales . served as a basic text in psychiatry for over fifty years." - Heirs of Hippocrates citing a later edition. Esquirol was Pinel's most illustrious pupil. He wrote a series of articles for different journals between 1812-1822. These articles and notices fully revised and supplied with more detail constitute the text of the book offered here. He hoped that his studies " . may contribute to overcome prejudices to dissipate errors to throw light upon obscure points connected with mental diseases and to make known truths of useful application in the treatment and regimen ."

1880réf. CAT0161Vermont 1880. Albumen photograph. 15 ½ x 10 inches on a 19 x 14 inch cardstock mount. Very Good. A rare 19th century view of an insane asylum. The Vermont Asylum for the Insane which later became the Brattleboro Retreat was founded based on Quaker principles of moral treatment. The founder Anna Hunt Marsh was the first woman credited with starting a hospital for the mentally ill. The approach was based on English institutions such as The York Retreat. “Moral treatment” first developed by William Tuke in the 18th century treated mental disorders as diseases and not character flaws or the results of sinning or mental depravity. This image is unrecorded and would date to sometime before 1890 when the institution was renamed. Some uneven fading otherwise well preserved. Mount toned at edges. Very good overall. unknown books
1787réf. ST19486Rochester: Printed and sold by W. Gillman 1787. Third Edition. 218 x 135 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/4". viii 335 pp. Recent retrospective calf-backed marbled boards flat spine gilt-ruled into panels with central floral ornament red morocco label with gilt titling. ESTC T126963. ◆First and last couple of leaves a bit foxed or browned isolated spots of foxing elsewhere but quite an excellent copy--clean and fresh with quite comfortable margins and in an unworn sympathetic binding. This is a collection of case studies by a pioneer in the humane treatment of mental illness detailing the symptoms presented and the treatments administered. William Perfect 1734-1809 began his career as an obstetrician then led efforts to inoculate the population in Kent against smallpox. In the 1760s he began to treat patients deemed insane operating his Kentish home as a private asylum. According to DNB "Gentleness and common sense seem to have characterized his approach whether dealing with women in childbirth or the insane." Perfect observed in one of his reports "gentle treatment contributed much to the case and should always be adopted in preference to rigorous measures where possible. . . . The proper management . . . is more to be depended upon than medicine but when both are judicially and humanely blended the patient has always the best chance of recovery." DNB notes he was a "keen believer in the value of advertising . . . and frequently publicized his medical services in the newspapers." He produced several books of case studies including the present work at least in part as a way of promoting his services and methods. This is a rare book: in addition to the present copy RBH lists just two copies sold at auction in 1969 and 2012 and the book is very seldom seen offered for sale by dealers. Printed and sold by W. Gillman unknown books
