First edition in contemporary binding of Boswell's first major work - an account of his trip to Corsica and his meeting with General Pasquale Paoli leader of the Corsican independence movement. "With its reports of the gallant islanders and a Plutarchan depiction of Paoli paralleled with several classical heroes An Account of Corsica was an immediate success. The work was widely read and translated stimulated great interest in Paoli and the Corsican cause brought its author wide fame in Britain and Europe and found an interested readership among the Americans. It attracted the notice of the French government which had a translation made and though Boswell's ambition for British intervention was not to be fulfilled he probably influenced Britain's decision to send secret supplies of arms to the Corsicans" ODNB.

"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.
