1827M9228Brussels: Philippe Vandermaelen c. 1827. Very Good. Notes: A scarce set of maps one showing the north island and the other the south island of New Zealand from the early 19th century. This is considered to be one of the first maps to show New Zealand as the core focus. They do an excellent job of showing detail by having the names of various places showing geographical features and by keeping that same detail in their portrayal of the numerous smaller islands around New Zealand. To further add to the detailed nature of the map there are extensive notes. <br><br>Measurement for No. 60 is 495x545mm<br><br> Size : 483x595 mm 19.02x23.43 Inches Coloring: Original Hand Coloring Reference: Phillips 749; Koeman Vdm 1; National Maritime Museum 179; Wellens-De Donder L.

Half calf binding with corners smooth spine decorated with gilt floral and ornamental motifs marbled paper boards marbled endpapers and pastedowns sprinkled edges; modern pastiche binding. Some foxing mainly affecting the second volume. Bound at the end of the volume is Jean-Etienne Esquirols ""Des Établissemens consacrés aux aliénés en France et des moyens de les améliorer. Mémoire présenté au ministre de l'Intérieur en septembre 1818"" published in Paris undated by Renouard 35 pp. On the verso of the title page: ""Cet opuscule est extrait de l'ouvrage que l'auteur publiera à la fin de janvier 1838 sous le titre: Des maladies considérées sous les rapports médical hygiénique statistique et médico-légal."" A rare offprint of the text that led to the adoption of the law of 30 June 1838 which established the creation of one psychiatric institution per department and made confinement subject to medical advice. ""This Mémoire to the Minister of the Interior on conditions in Hospitals and Prisons is one of the ablest and most influential documents in the history of administrative psychiatry"" Zilboorg & Henry p. 391 cited in Haskell F. Norman Library III 1062. A judicious pairing of two fundamental texts. Philippe Pinel was the great reformer of mental medicine: he was among the first to treat the insane humanely removing their chains and placing them under the care of carefully selected physicians. Garrison considered his book one of the foremost medical classics which gave a major impetus to the humanitarian treatment of the mentally ill. ""Ce traité . procède à la description d'une entité clinique à la codification du traitement moral de la folie à l'amorce de la définition et de la glorification de l'institution asilaire à la consécration de la psychiatrie comme discipline médicale à part entière . Il ouvre la voie à Broussais qui dans De l'irritation et de la folie en 1828 donnera une analyse pénétrante trop injustement décriée du fait mental élémentaire et à Esquirol élève favori de Pinel qui . achèvera la fondation de la psychiatrie moderne"". Cf. Serge Wasersztrum in: En français dans le texte. Michel Foucault also revealed another aspect of the new asylum system: ""L'asile de l'âge positiviste tel qu'on fait gloire à Pinel de l'avoir fondé n'est pas un libre domaine d'observation de diagnostic et de thérapeutique; c'est un espace judiciaire où on est accusé jugé et condamné et dont on ne se libère que par la version de ce procès dans la profondeur psychologique c'est à dire par le repentir. La folie sera punie à l'asile même si elle est innocentée au-dehors. Elle est pour longtemps et jusqu'à nos jours au moins emprisonnée dans un monde moral"". Richard, Caille et Ravier hardcover
