Excerpt from The Journal of Mental Science, Vol. 19: Published by Authority of the Medico-Psychological Association, April, 1873-Jan., 1874In the still more interesting but more difficult investigation of the local distribution of the different varieties of insanity, in other words the various diseases which are included under that name, the only reliable data are the facts recorded in the county and district asylum reports. Unfortunately, these are not all drawn up on one plan, no absolutely uniform nomenclature or classification is adopted, and they have not all as yet adopted the forms of statistical tables recommended by the medico-psychological Society, so that this part of the enquiry cannot be made so exhaustive or complete as the other. A sufficient number of uniform facts can, however, be got from the reports of asylums, scattered over the various parts of the country, on which to base fairly reliable generali sations. I shall endeavour to throw the numbers and facts into tabular forms as much as possible for the sake of reference.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
