Cowper (1731-1800) was British poet, regarded as the leading poet of the 18th century English religious revival, who suffered from manic-depression with paranoid tendencies. His own autobiographical account of his early life, struggle with depression & mania, and religious conversion was posthumously published in 1816. Quinlan's book covers his five bouts with insanity, his commitment to St Albans, his melancholy and suicide attempts, his sexual problems, his religious conversion to Evangelicalism, and William Hayley's attempt to cure Cowper's depression near the end of his life.

The first part (xii+207pp.) appeared in 1828; the second part (pages 209-361) adds chapters on homicidal monomania, suicide, the incubation of madness, an examination of Broussais' doctrine regarding moral liberty, an examination of a number of criminal trials in which the insanity defense was invoked.A young lawyer at the royal court of Paris, Regnault here attacked the monomania doctrine. "He produced a broad historical survey of medical opinion on insanity, beginning with Boerhaave and running through Pinel and Esquirol, which revealed that the literature contained nothing but a mass of contradictions abuot the nature and bodily locus of mental disease. … The medical community took Regnault's attack very seriously. His book was reviewed in virtually every Parisian medical journal, and the reviews … usually contained attempts at reasoned rebuttal and refutation" [Jan Goldstein, Console and Classify: The French Psychiatric Profession in the Nineteenth Century, p. 185].

The first book in English on suicide. "The orthodoxy of Lifes Preservative, rather than its originality, is the chief reason why it is an important work in the history of attitudes to suicide. It is absolutely representative of the prevailing opinion of its day. Furthermore, it fused theological discourse, moral condemnation and psychological insight in a way that none of the shorter works by divines and medical writers had. To understand Lifes Preservative is to grasp precisely what suicide meant to pious Englishmen in the early seventeenth century, to see something of the now forgotten attitude of mind that interpreted behaviour and emotion in terms both of natural and supernatural forces, psychological motivations and religious meanings" [Michael MacDonald, page x of his introduction to the facsimile reprint issued by Routledge, London, 1988].
Sadoff Catalog page 80; Brittain p. 207.
Winslow's second book and the first psychiatric study of suicide in English, in which Winslow argued that most suicides were not criminal but victims of mental disease. Winslow founded in 1848 the first British psychiatric journal and was one of the medical experts who testified at the McNaughton trial. It was largely due to his influence that the insanity plea came to be frequently used in Britain. Winslow is one of the key figures in the creation of psychiatry as a professional subspecialty of medicine in the United Kingdom.
