Excerpt from Recollections of Forty Years: Being an Account at First Hand of Some Famous Criminal Lunacy Cases, English and American, Together With Facsimile Letters, Notes, and Other Data Concerning Them Although I have breathed the atmosphere of lunacy for a period extending over sixty years, and can there fore chronicle events dating from that period, the real tragedy Of my life, -if I may use this expression, -com menced from the year of my qualification in 1869 thus am I able to give a forty years' record of practical knowledge Of lunacy. Every legal case mentioned by me became public property at the time of the trial. Certain facts, however, I have given in connection with these which have never previously seen the light of day. I have been careful to avoid all mention of treatment, the book being entirely one Of a social nature and not a professional record. I have endeav oured to express my views fairly but unflinchingly on public matters, and only to condemn where I think such condemnation was well deserved. The book is written for the world at large; but at the same time I have no doubt in my own mind that many of my own profession will benefit by the perusal of its pages, as there are certain lessons to be learnt therein.
