Waller 2216. Wellcome II, pp. 407. Hirsch II:143. Zilboorg 356. Hunter & Macalpine pp. 559-564. First edition. Some underling with pencil. Vol. II. with some annotations at outer and lower margin. This important work broke new ground in psychiatry in a number of ways, not to mention that after an interval of 212 years it was the first psychiatric treatise by a physician to a London teaching hospital since Bright's (1586) Treatise of Melancholy... Crichton was also the first who discussed forensic aspects in an English psychiatric text. He observed that murder was not uncommonly committed from 'despair' and hid the wish for suicide; and sometimes even from tenderness towards the victim; the idea being to save 'the beloved object from the same causes of painful distress and affliction which prey on the spirits of the insane person'... Crichton also made significant clinical observations...and recognised that aphasia...was...the result of 'a disturbance of memory'.
