1955acs243St. Louis: The C. V. Mosby Company 1955. Third Edition. Octavo navy blue cloth hardcover silver letters and illustration to upper cover 596 pp. Near Fine with darkened endpapers. From Preface: Since the last edition of this book was prepared many additional psychopaths have been observed pursuing their vivd patterns of maladjustment. A few encouraging reports of successful therapeutic measures have emerged. The number of patients concerned is however too small to furnish substantial evidence that a regularly effective means of dealing with the psychopath’s disorder has been discovered. It is my increasingly strong belief that the immediate and practical goal of all concerned with this problem should be to promote a general understanding that these people have a social disability that is real and extremely serious. Adequate means must be provided to control legally these severely disordered patients like those long ago provided and available today for far less incompetent patients of other types. Even if a truly curative therapy is never devised perhaps half the damage crime waste useless disorder and sorrow caused now by psychopaths could be eliminated by a reasonably wise use of such legal measures for control.

198876577London: Michael Joseph 1988. Abridged Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10.25 inches. xiv 224 2 pages. Endpaper maps. Illustrations. Glossary. Note on the Illustrations. Published in association with the National Army Museum London. Charles Allen born 1940 is a British freelance writer and popular historian who lives in London. His British parents were both born in India and his prolific works focus on the British Raj. Allen's work focuses largely on India and the Indian Subcontinent in general. Although Captain Albert Hervey rose to the rank of Major General this memoir covers his first impressionable years on the sub-continent in the heady days before the Indian Mutiny. Hervey vividly recalls his early experiences. From the duties of a young subaltern in barracks to a hard day's shikar in the padifields from the giddy whirl of balls and mess nights to the chill of executions at dawn; and from the comic vexations of drunken servants to the medieval pageantry of an oriental army on the line of march. Hervey's evocations of a soldier's works is vibrant with the sights and sounds and minutiae of a way of life that seemed set to last for ever. Michael Joseph hardcover
