Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Practical Remarks on Insanity: To Which Is Added, a Commentary on the Dissection of the Brains of Maniacs
It is presumed that the following pages have their authorities constructed on the basis of truth; and, should they appear to want the sprightliness and entertainment which may be found in the works of some contemporary writers on Insanity, the Reader, it is hoped, will admit the apology, that the Author could not bring his mind to treat humorously, an affection so rapidly becoming prevalent among all orders of society, and consequently so destructive of the happiness and interests of mankind.
