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 ."
