Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lettsomian Lectures on Insanity Having had the honour of being appointed Lettsomian Professor of Medicine, of the Medical Society of London, I accepted the office with, I trust, a humble appreciation of my capacity to discharge satisfactorily its duties in a manner commensurate with their grave importance. The distinction conferred upon me is one not to be lightly esteemed. To be selected from a body of physicians of great and admitted eminence, of profound learning, of scientific attainments of a high order, of undoubted eloquence, as Lettsomian lecturer on Medicine, is an event which I shall ever cherish with lively emotions, as one of the most pleasing and personally gratifying occurrences in my chequered life. The post thus assigned to me by your kindness, entails upon me the pleasing duty of delivering, before this Society, three lectures connected with that division of medical science with which the physician is supposed to be especially conversant In selecting three topics for illustration, I felt anxious to bring under review subjects worthy of your consideration; and involving in their elucidation, points of theoretical as well as of practical interest I flattered myself that I should be realizing your anticipations, and be acting in unison with the wishes of the Council, if I were to confine myself to the exposition of three points connected with those investigations with which my own mind is supposed to be more particularly occupied. Under this impression, I have, with, I hope, a right sense of the difficulty of my self-imposed task, selected, as the subject of my first and introductory lecture, a question of extreme interest to all engaged in the practice of medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT is an old custom for an author to appear humbly before the reader in a preface, and state his reasons for writing his book, and for the '' more audacious step of publishing it. Sometimes, being doubtful whether these reasons will be accepted, he throws the blame on the importunity of friends, who, he fondly imagines, have perused the MS., and who insist that it shall not be lost to the world. Whatever may be thought of the sincerity of these excuses, they form an implied admission that there are quite enough of books in print already, and that some justification is required for adding to the heap. Sheppard has no preface, but his justification seems to be in his first sentence. "This is a new chair, and I am a new professor." Professors are in the habit of writing text-books, and publishers look on their MSS. with a favorable eye, since a pretty sure sale may be expected from their students, especially if the professors be also examiners. Why, then, should Dr Sheppard not publish his "Lectures on Madness?" Taking into consideration the demands upon the time and attention of medical students, the Professor does not think he would be doing justice to them if he extended his course beyond seven or eight lectures. This, however, is totally insufficient to do justice to the subject. The whole work contains only 186 pages post octavo, and could be read in an evening, so it cannot stand in place of a textbook. Much of the matter treated of, or alluded to, is gone over in a superficial manner. The book, however, is pleasant reading to those interested in the subject; and where the author takes a little time, the description of the different forms of insanity are graphically done. The lectures, for example, on Puerperal Insanity and General Paralysis of the Insane contain judicious information in an agreeable form. The author's style is striking and lively, but it would be well if he abstained from quotations and notes upon subjects not immediately connected with the matter in hand. The habit of quoting Shakespeare is not an uncommon one with writers on insanity; but most people will be surprised to learn from Dr. Sheppard, that the great poet was the first to shape the disease called General Paralysis "into a distinct and morbid entity;" and the reader has only to turn to Troilus and Cressida, act ii., scene iii., for an accurate and truthful description of the disease. It appears to us that the lines he quotes merely describe inordinate conceit and vanity in Achilles. One might as well say that, in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare gives a description of nymphomania, or in Sir Andrew Aguecheek a portrait of cretinism.... -Edinburgh Medical Journal, Vol. 12
