Excerpt from Penal Discipline This book is not an autobiography. But I am a sufficiently obscure individual to be obliged to explain to my readers how, and why, I come to be writing it. Although I was once an official, this book is entirely unofficial. It is about things which, when I was at work, I had the opportunity of Observing, and which my medical training enabled me to study farther in the light of modern teaching on the make-up of the human being. I have written nothing of my Official work. People who feel curious about departmental doings, or on any other matters on which it would not be for me to comment, need not look here. My personal experiences appear only in so far as they are explanatory of my theme. I have drawn a few life-pictures to give colour to what might be a less attractive book without them. I have, of course, used no real name or initials, nor description that could ever be recognised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
