Contents

Part I.—Original Articles

  • On the Weight of the Brain, and on the Circumstances affecting it

  • John Thurnam
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2018, pp. 1-43

  • The weight of the brain in insane persons has been investigated by Dr. Parchappe in France, Dr. Bergmann in Germany, and on a larger scale, by Dr. Boyd in this country.∗ Further observations, however, were, for many reasons, to be desired; and having during many years past either weighed myself, or caused to be weighed, the brain of nearly every patient who has died whilst under my care, I ventured to think the large series of observations thus obtained, and which amount to 470 cases, were worthy of being collected, analysed, and compared with the weights recorded by previous observers.

  • Sisterhoods in Asylums

  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2018, pp. 44-63

  • “Nothing in connection with the treatment of the insane has a more direct and immediate effect, for good or ill. upon their condition and comfort, than the fact of their being under the charge of good or bad attendants.”-‘Fifteenth Report of Commissioners in Lunacy,’ p. 55.

  • Clinical Notes regarding Epileptic Insanity

  • Adam Addison
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    19 February 2018, pp. 63-74

  • The following observations are based upon fifty cases, and compiled from notes taken by Dr. Howden and myself. They are published merely as a contribution to the statistics of the subject, which are by no means numerous. Of the cases admitted into the Montrose Asylum during the last eight years, 3 8 per cent, were epileptics. Their physiognomical characteristics are given in the following table.
