ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE MIND UPON 



THE BODY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE. Designed to illustrate the Action of the 

 Imagination. In one handsome octavo volume of 416 pages, cloth, $3 25. (Just Issued.) 

 The object of the author in this work has been to show not only the effect of the mind in caus- 

 ing and intensifying disease, but also its curative influence, and the use which may be made of 

 the imagination and the emotions as therapeutic agents. Scattered facts bearing upon this sub- 

 ject have long been familiar to the profession, but no attempt has hitherto been made to collect 

 and systematize them so as to render them available to the practitioner, by establishing the seve- 

 ral phenomena upon a scientific basis. In the endeavor thus to convert to the use of legitimate 

 medicine the means which have been employed so successfully in many systems of quackery, the 

 author has produced a work of the highest freshness and interest as well as of permanent value.

INSANITY AND ITS TREATMENT: Lectures on the Treatment, 



Medical and Legal, of Insane Patients. With a Summary of the Laws in force in the 

 United States on the Confinement of the Insane. By ISAAC RAY, M. D. In one very 

 handsome octavo volume of 471 pages; cloth, $3 25. 



This volume is presented to meet the want, so frequently expressed, of a comprehensive trea- 

 tise, in moderate compass, on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of insanity. To render it of 

 more value to the practitioner in this country, Dr. Ray has added an appendix which affords in- 

 formation, not elsewhere to be found in so accessible a form, to physicians who may at any moment 

 b called upon to take action in relation to patients. 



It satisfies a want which must have been sorely j actually seen in practice and the appropriate treat 

 felt by the busy general practitioners of this country. 

 It takes the form of a manual of clinical description 

 of the various forms of insanity, with a description 

 of the mode of examining persons suspected of in- 

 aanity. We call particular attention to this feature 

 of the book, as giving it a unique value to the gene- 

 ral practitioner. If we pass from theoretical conside- 

 rations to descriptions of the varieties of insanity as 



ment for them, we find in Dr. Blandford's work 

 considerable advance over previous writings on the 

 subject. His pictures of the various forms of mental 

 disease are so clear and good that no reader can fail 

 to be struck with their superiority to those given in 

 ordinary manuals in the English language or (so far 

 as our own reading extends) in any other. London 

 Practitioner, Feb. 1871.

 one of the most remarkable books we have met with.

literary phenomenon that the head of one of the first 

 American houses is also the writer of some of its most 

 original books. London Athenceum, Jan. 7, 1871. 



Mr. Lea has done great honor to himself and this 

 country by the admirable works he has written on 

 ecclesiologicaland cognate subjects. We have already 

 had occasion to commend his "Superstition and 

 Force" and his "History of Sacerdotal Celibacy." 

 The present volume is fully as admirable in its me- 

 thod of dealing with topics and in the thoroughness 

 a quality so frequently lacking in American authors 

 with which they are investigated. N. . Journal of

The story was never told more calmly or with 

 greater learning or wiser thought. We doubt, indeed, 

 If any other study of this field can be compared with 

 this for clearness, accuracy, and power. Chicago 

 Examiner, Dec. 1870. 



Mr. Lea's latest work, "Studies in Church History," 

 fully sustains the promise of the first. It deals with 

 cnree subjects the Temporal Power, Benefit of 

 Clergy, and Excommunication, the record of which 

 has a peculiar importance for the English student, and 

 is a chapter on Ancient Law likely to be regarded as 

 final. We can hardly pass from our mention of such 

 works as these with which that on "Sacerdotal 

 Celibacy" should be included without noting the
