"Browne was one of the reformers of the asylum care of the insane whose improvements and innoveations were chronicled in his annual reports from the Crichton Royal Institution, but who in addition published [this book] almost on the threshold of his career as a sort of manifesto of what he wished to see accomplished. … The book came to the notice of Mrs Elizabeth Crichton, foundress of the Crichton Royal Institution (opened June 1839 with 120 beds) which was being built at that time and Browne was offered and accepted the post of its first resident physician or medical superintendent. … 'The whole secret of he new system' preached by Browne 'may be summed up in the two words, kindness and occupation'." Browne pointed out that under the new system arrangements had to be made to allow freedom of movement for the vast majority of patients, unlike the old system that used restraint for most patients.

Cannon was Head Worker in the Social Service Department, Massachusetts General Hospital. An incunable of psychiatric social work (with sections on the syphilitic, the mentally unbalanced, the neurasthenic, the feeble-minded), published 9 years before the first explicit book on psychiatric social work by Southard.
Includes his 1882 paper on Guiteau, papers on criminal insanity, feeble-mindedness, lunacy legislation, etc., as well as an offprint of his obituary in the November 25, 1921 Boston Transcript. An interesting second-rung 19th century American psychiatrist, Channing opened his own mental 'hospital' (so named by him) in 1879 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He testified as an expert witness in the Guiteau trial and for some years was Professor of Mental Diseases at Tufts College Medical School. He helped found the Department of Mental Disease of the Boston Dispensary, of which he was chief from 1896 to 1904. He campaigned for the creation of a state institution that came into being as the State Psychopathic Hospital in Boston.

Chapin directed the Department for the Insane of the Pennsylvania Hospital from 1884 to 1911, before which he had superintended the Willard Asylum.
Not in Gernsheim Incunabula of British Photographic Literature; Sadoff Catalog page 30. The first biography of a psychological physician, by his old friend who had encouraged him to seek the resident physician position at Hanwell [See Hunter & Macalpine, p. 1034]. An early use of photography in a British psychiatric book.
An expansion of seven lectures first published in The Lancet from July 4 to October 3, 1846 in 18 issues. Mentioned (with less elaboration than one would expect—did they possibly not yet own a copy of this always scarce book?) by Hunter & Macalpine on page 1033. Imbued throughout with his ideas about non-restraint—the full elaboration of which in his 1856 book would make him world famous—, Conolly's book melds architectural design with notions of patient care: "The recovery of the curable, the improvement of the incurable, the comfort and happiness of all the patients, should therefore steadily be kept in view by the architect from the moment in which he commences his plan; and should be the no less constant guide of the governing bodies of asylums in every law and regulation which they make, and every resolution to which they come" (pp. 1-2).Conolly's second book and the first British book on the subject, preceded by the even rarer 1841 translation from the German of Jacobi's On the Construction and Government of Hospitals for the Insane. "In some respects his most important contribution to psychiatry" [Leigh p. 240].
GM 4933; Heirs of Hippocrates 1512; Osler 2360; Norman Catalog 506; Zilboor & Henry, pp. 413-415.
One of the high spots in the history of psychiatry. Though Conolly did not originate the non-restraint system, it was he who through this book popularized it throughout the psychiatric community, so that his name is forever linked with non-restraint. "Modelled on the non-restrictive policies adopted by Gardiner Hill at Lincoln Asylum, Conolly's abolition of all forms of physical restraint at Hanwell Asylum indicated a fundamental shift in psychiatric thought: insane patients were no longer to be thought of as vicious animals, but as sick human beings who deserved (both morally and legally) to be treated with the same consideration and sense of respect as their 'normal' counterparts. A consequence of the non-restraint campaign was the establishment of mental nursing as a profession, as the new system required a well-trained, benevolent and conscientious attendant staff" [Norman Catalog].
Hunter & Macalpine pp. 923-30: "… this first Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners with their newly extended powers may fitly be called in the words of Shaftesbury's biographer Edwin Hodder (1886) 'the Doomsday Book of all that, up to that time, concerned Institutions for the Insane'. This 'very interesting and elaborate report' wrote Sir William Charles Hood … 'presents us with a full exposition of the state of lunacy in England and Wales at this period'.
OCLC records 7 copies. Curwen was superintendent and physician of the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital. Possibly the first such manual done—at least it is the earliest one we have seen.Section 2: Asylums and Hospitals (D-M)
