12. Beers, Clifford Whittingham.

Two Autograph Letters, signed, both to L. Vernon Briggs on the Connecticut Society for Mental Hygiene Stationary. New York. 4to. Lightly worn along the edges. Uncommon. Inquir e | Order$350.00

Dated May 8th & May 29th, 1910, the letters (respectively 20 and 28 lines long) provide considerable insight into Beers' method and style during the formative period of the national mental hygiene movement. In the first letter Beers invites B riggs -- who had been invited to discuss a paper Beers would read at the St. Louis meeting of the National Conference of Charities -- to submit his criticism in advance: "I wish to know the weak spots in my proposition -- if there are any, so that I may be prepared to offer convincing arguments to daring critics." In the second page and a half letter -- a response to Briggs' critique requested in the first letter -- Beers confesses "I had not realized until you called my attention to it, that I seemed t o be taking myself out of the ranks of the militant reformers." He then details the changes he has made in his address to show his continuing militancy in the reform of mental health care.

The last English witchcraft trial. Bragge's two pamphlets argued for the reality of witchcraft and for the prosecution, for which he testified as a witness. Though the jury found Wenham guilty, the presiding judge obtained a reprieve and even tually a pardon from the Queen. She was befriended by a local gentleman who gave her a little cottage where she lived peacefully until her death in 1730. Her principal accuser, the servant girl Anne Thorne showed classically hysteric signs: she was distu rbed by fits; troubled with visions of devils in the shape of cats; and vomited pins. "A doctor ordered her to wash her face twice a day and to be watched by a 'lusty young fellow' during her convalescence. The young man proved an effective cure for Anne 's hysterics, and the two were happily married." [Robbins 1959 p. 537]. It all began when Wenham brought a case of defamation against a farmer for publicly calling her "a Witch and a bitch." The case was referred to the local rector John Gardiner for settlement. Gardiner suggested that Jane should learn to live "in peac e" with her neighbors and awarded her the sum of one shilling for damages. Not satisfied, Wenham said that she would seek justice elsewhere. When the rector's maid began exhibiting strange behavior and the farmer's helper also began to act in a bizarre m anner, the neighbors and other locals began to accuse Wenham of having bewitched them, which led to her trial for witchcraft. The jury found her guilty and she was sentenced to death. Together here are most of the important pamphlets elicited by the controversial trial -- two by Bragge in favor of the verdict (and the reality of witchcraft) and two against. Though this was the last witchcraft trial in England, the statute itself was not removed from the books until 1736.

The first substantial psychiatric treatise on hallucinations. Believing they constituted a disease sui generis, Brierre de Boismont attempts to reclaim the subject for psychology from medical pathology. He discusses the occurrenc e of hallucinations in ordinary life, examines the hallucinations of dreams and nightmares and the their occurrence in animal magnetism, somnambulism, and ecstasy. The latter part of the book discusses the causes, symptomology, and treatment. Widely read , his book influenced everone writing about the subject after him.

Hopelessly obscure (I cannot find a single reference to it), Catlow's is nonetheless an extraordinary book, being at once a treatise on what is now called holistic medicine, a treatise on aesthetics, and a treatise on developmental psychology . Catlow's notions of susceptibility and sensibility directly prefigure Piaget's concepts of accomodation and assimilation -- indeed, his entire discussion of the hierarchical development of mental life reads like Piaget. His lengthy discussion of infant psychology is astute and generations ahead of what anybody else was writing in the 1860s. His treatment of desire and volition is equally profound. He knows that dreams are wish-fulfillment (p. 298), that they guard sleep, and that dream images must der ive from prior sensation or thought.

The studies expanded into this volume, passing far beyond their original bounds ..." [preface]. Very much based on Darwin and Haeckel, Clevenger surveys the evolution of mind from the tim e of early man, with chapters on heredity & degeneracy, superstition, hunger & love, acquisitveness, development of mind, evolution of the brain, senses & feelings, instincts & emotions, intellectual faculties, mental diseases, etc. Not very original, bu t pretty much a state-of-the-art survey of Darwinist ideas just at the time of the rediscovery of Mendel (which Clevenger apparently didn't know about). 3 pounds 6 ounces = 1.6 kg. 9.4 x 6.6 x 1.8 inches = 23.5 x 16.5 x 4.5cm.

Clevenger, born to a notable Cincinnati stonecutter-turned-sculptor, started out as a civil engineer and surveyor for the U.S. Engineer Corps during the Civil War and becoming after the war Chief Engineer for the Dakota Southern Railway. Afte r trying to expose western land and Indian Department misdeeds, he became disillusioned with politicians and corruption and abandoned engineering for medicine, graduating from Chicago Medical College (later Northwestern University) i 1879, only to encoun ter the same Gilded Age corruption and criminality at the Insane Asylum of Cook County, where he had gained employment as a pathologist. Attempts on his life persuaded him to resign in 1884, although his continued campaign for reform resulted in some con victions. In 1893 he was appointed medical superintendent of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane in Kankakee, where he opposed state & county officials who stole from the institution and abused patients. His tenure there lasted but three months. In 1900 he was appointed professor of neurology and psychiatry at Harvey Medical College. He is most important in the history of psychiatry for publishing in 1889 the first American book on "railway spine" and a massive 1898 treatise on medical jurispru dence.

Published twenty-six years before his epochal book on non-restraint and nine years before his official psychiatric career began with his appointme nt as superintendent of the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell, this is the first attempt to link normal and abnoraml states of mind, the first book (possibly excepting Batty) to suggest that asylums become clinical schools to familiarize physici ans with mental disorders, the first proposal for a mental health service based on local mental hospitals. Leigh notes that "as the second part of the title shows, even at this time Conolly's mind was preoccupied with the ideas which, years later, were t o make him famous" (p. 231).

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-re straint. "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 t o 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 establ ishment of mental nursing as a profession, as the new system required a well-trained, benevolent and conscientious attendant staff" [Norman Catalog].

GM 4929. The first modern textbook of psychiatry and the model for all later psychiatric texts. Esquirol emphasized the importance of observation and good record-keeping; deprecated superstition and speculation; distinguished hallucinations f rom illusions, associating only the former with mental illness; and emphasized the role of environmental and age factors as precipitants of mental disease. Pinel's successor at Salpêtriere, Esquirol was among the first to insist that the criminally insane should be treated as suffering from a disease. Though published without the nosological plates which appear in the 1838 French edition, the English translation is much rarer.
