Contains Galton's chief contributions to psychology. Strongly influenced by his cousin's Origin of Species, Galton began reflecting on the influence of heredity on the human race. Impressed by the fact that distinction of any kind is apt to r un in families, he made a series of statistical investigations whereby he showed the heritability of genius of all kinds. The results are set forth in several books, including Inquiries into Human Faculty. The study of heredity led Galton to the conviction that the human race might gain an indefinite improvement by breeding from the best & restricting the offspring of the worst. To this study he gave the name Eugenics.

In his influential Treatise on the Stomach and Intestines (1677), "Glisson offered something close to a general analysis of life-as-action. When matter with its three psychic properties is arranged as animal fiber, he said, that fiber thereby acquires irritability (the capacity, when irritated, to react in such a way tht the irritant is no longer effective). Such reactions require (a) that the fiber perceive the irritant, (b) that it desire to reduce the irritation, and (c) that it move in such a way that its wish is fulfilled. Such reactions are fundamental to physiological responses in general. The applications of irritability were thus much more numerous in Glisson's than in Haller's usage, since Haller limited the term . . . to the ability of a single sort of body part, muscle, to contract in response to proper stimulation" [Thomas S. Hall History of General Physiology I: 396-397].

Written when the author was 28 and the standard mid-century German psychiatric text, Griesinger's book tended to reduce psychological disorders to organic pathology (though not exclusively, Griesinger regarded suicide, for example, as a psych ological malady). Widely influential, it established psychiatry as a material-monist department of the newly emerging scientific medicine. Griesinger distinguished three forms of mental disorders: depression, exaltation, and mental weakness; all of which he deemed organic conditions, though without excluding moral treatment in their management.

Haslam's greatest book dominated English psychiatry for a generation and was frequently cited by Pinel. An uncommonly clear writer, Haslam begins by exploring the etymology of the term 'madness' and attempting to define it, describes the symp toms (he held that melancholia and mania were two aspects of a single disease), describes in remarkably limpid prose 29 illustrative cases (expanded to 37 in the 1809 second edition), considers the causes of insanity, consders prognosis, management (defe nding restraint) and therapy (he favored blistering the legs instead of the head).

"Civil unrest, caused by widespread unrest throughout the German Confederation in the late 1840s, led Henle to transfer to the University of Göttingen in 1852. When Müller died ten years later, Henle declined the University of Berlin's profes sorhip. Even though it was the most prestigious anatomical chair in the world, Henle preferred to work in the quiet atmosphere of Göttingen. It was there that he wrote the present work [i.e., the entire Handbuch] over a period of sixteen yea rs. Comprehensive and detailed, the [Handbuch] contained all of what was then known about the structure of the human body and it was illustrated with many excellent drawings made by Henle. The book retained its value as a textbook until the functional ap proach to anatomy gained dominance. Even today, the work is still valuable for the study of gross human anatomy and its occasional anomalies" [Heirs].
