Two Frontispiece plates, tipped-in references slip, title page, 200 pp. Original cloth, with original printed paper spine label. Large tear in title page (repaired with tape). First Edition. SIGNED BY SAMUEL B. WOODWARD: "Dr L A Smith/ from Dr. Woodward." "The State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester, Massachusetts was the first concrete product of the American asylum-building movement of the 1830s and 1840s, which, although based on unrealistically optimistic beliefs about the curability of insanity, nevertheless did much good by promoting a positive attitude toward improving the care and treatment of the insane. Dr. Samuel B. Woodward, the first superintendent of the Worcester State Hospital, was a pioneer in the treatment of mental diseases, whose success in dealing with the challenges of institutionalized care for the insane won him a national reputation. He founded and served as the first president of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane (later the American Psychiatric Association)" (Norman 1824). With ink stamp (on inside of front cover) of Medico-Legal Society Library, and notation that this copy was presented by Dr. Fordyce Barker in 1882.
