Excerpt from Mental Pathology and Therapeutics Several of the most recent writers on insanity have been so well pleased with the first edition of my book that they have assumed into their writings not only the ideas and doctrines, the arrangement and ex ample scontained in it, but have even taken, without restraint, as their own, simple excerpts of whole sections. I quietly permitted this to 00 cur, but now it would, of course, be dimble to me if any one were to think that it was I who, in this edition, had borrowed from those authors.
