General Reflections on the Oeconomy of Nature in Animal Life. Part II. The Means and Methods for preserving Life an Faculties; and also concerning the Nature and Cure of Acute, Contagious, and Cephalic Disorders. Part. III. Reflections on the Nature and Cure of particular Chronical Distempers.

First edition, 8vo (200 x 130 mm) [20], 316pp., ownership inscription on fly-leaf "Harbin - 1743", contemporary calf, spine with raised bands and ruled in gilt, slight nick to headband otherwise a very nice copy. In this work Cheyne aroused much interest in the investigation of the bodily fibres and in exploration of the metaphysical relationship of mind and body. "Like many other authors on nervous diseases of the depressive kind, Cheyne wrote from personal experience and so, perhaps claimed that those 'of the liveliest and quickest natural Parts..... whose Genius is most keen and penetrating' were most prone to such disorders: Fools, weak or stupid Persons, heavy and dull Souls, are seldom troubled with Vapours or Lowness of Spirits.' Perhaps for the same reason he considered that 'of all the Miseries that afflict Human Life, and relate principally to the Body, in this Valley of Tears, I think Nervous Disorders, in their extreme and last Degrees, are the most deplorable, and beyond comparison the worst.' He recommended treatment especially by evacuation and slender diet, by which he himself had been cured."?Hunter and McAlpine. Wellcome II, p.339; Hunter and MacAlpine, pp.351-54.

BURROWS (George Man)MareMagnum

An Inquiry into Certain Errors Relative to Insanity; and their Consequences; Physical, Moral, and Civil.

First edition, 8vo (220 x 130 mm), ix, [1], 320pp., some intermittent light foxing, 1 folding table, fait stamp to title page, later maroon cloth, rubbed, spine lettered in gilt. An investigation of the curability of insanity based on the statistics of a countrywide survey of mental institutions. "Burrows claimed to have cured eighty-one percent of all the mental patients in his private asylum, with the rate rising to ninety-one percent for cases of less than a year's duration?questionable figures that were nevertheless accepted uncritically by his book's many readers. The cult of curability was an extreme reaction to the earlier belief that insanity was beyond help; during the period of its greatest influence, it inspired a marked increase in the construction of state mental hospitals."?Hook & Norman.

First edition, 8vo (225 x 140 mm), iv, 88pp., faint library stamp to title page, inner hinges shaken orig. cloth-backed boards, uncut. "A surgeon by profession, Brodie was often called upon to treat neurotic or hysterical patients who complained of somatic ailments, such facial neuralgia, joint pains or paralysis, in the absence of any organic disease. In the 'Lectures', Brodie adopted the original approach of discussing types of symptoms rather than particular diseases, distinguishing the manifestations of organic afflictions from those of hysterical origin, and giving the first systematic account of the diagnosis and treatment of pain and paralysis in the absence of local organic disease. He also gave the first description of 'oed?me bleu', the swelling and cyanosis of extremities during hysterical paralysis."?Hook & Norman.

Vermont Asylum for the Insane Founded A.D. 1834

1880CAT0161Vermont 1880. Albumen photograph. 15 Â½ 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. â€œMoral treatmentâ€ 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

SELECT CASES IN THE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF INSANITY

1787ST19486Rochester: Printed and sold by W. Gillman 1787. Third Edition. 218 x 135 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/4". viii 335 pp. <br/> 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.<br/> <br/> 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
