Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late eighteenth century mental illness was treated with brutal and inhumane methods by ‘mad-doctors’, and the treatment of George III was no exception. George III’s Illnesses and His Doctors provides an insightful, forensic and sympathetic picture of how and why members of the royal family turned in desperation to an unqualified quack practitioner, James Lucett, in the hope of finding a cure for the king’s ‘insanity’. Much has been written in the past about ‘Mad King George’. This book brings fresh evidence and new understanding to the case of the ‘mad’ king. Lucett’s claims were tested in psychiatry’s first ‘therapeutic trial’ and science was invoked in an attempt to improve understanding of the roots of insanity. The results were mixed but nevertheless George III’s case and the subsequent career of the deeply flawed Lucett were important elements in the revolutionary change in attitudes to the treatment of the insane which came about as the nineteenth century progressed. Based closely on primary source material, George III’s Illnesses and His Doctors is a moving story of human suffering but also of efforts to challenge medical orthodoxy and to improve understanding of mental illness. Some of the issues raised in the early nineteenth century remain to be resolved now.

This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellis Cornelia Knight (1757-1837) was an English gentlewoman, traveller, landscape artist and writer of novels, verse, journals and history. She had the acquaintance of many prominent figures in her lifetime from members of the circle of Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds in her girlhood, Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton during her Italian sojourn, and members of the British Royal Family during her service to Queen Charlotte and Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales. She corresponded with or met many other writers including Fanny Burney, Madame de Stael and Lady Charlotte Bury. Her reputation as a learned author and highly respectable character earned her an invitation to join the household of Queen Charlotte in 1805 and in 1812 she became companion to Princess Charlotte, only daughter of the Prince Regent (later George IV), holding this post until the Regent fired her in 1814 for imagined lapses of judgment. At her death she left behind an incomplete autobiography and a journal which were invaluable sources of information on the court history of those days. These were edited and published posthumously in two volumes in 1861. Volume 2 of 2.
