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. 



It satisfied a want which must have been sorely 

 felt by the busy general practitioners of this, country. 

 IG takes the form of a manual of cliuical description 

 of the various forms of insanity, with a description 

 of the mode of examining persons suspected of in- 

 sanity. We call particular attention to this feature 

 of the book, as giviugit a unique value to the gene- 

 ral practitioner. If we pass from theoretical conside- 

 rations to descriptions of the varieties of insanity at- 



actually seen in practice and the appropriate treat 

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

 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 

 ',o be struck with their superiority to those given in 

 ndinary manuals in the English language or (so far 

 as our own reading extendsjinany other. London 

 Practitioner, Feb. 1S71. 



EA (HENRY C.). 

 SUPERSTITION AND FORCE: ESSAYS ON THE WAGER OF 



LAW, THE WAGER OF BATTLE, THE ORDEAL, AND TORTURE. Third Revised 

 and Enlarged Edition . In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of 552 pages. Cloth, 

 $2 50. (Just Ready.) 

 The appearance of a new edition of Mr. Henry C. 



Lea's " superstition and Force" is a sign that our 

 highest scholar.- hip is not without hunor in its na- 

 tive country. Mr. Lea has met every fresh demand 

 for his work with a careful re vision 'of it, and the 

 present edition is not only fuller and, if possible, 

 more accurate than either of ihe preceding, but, 

 from the thorough elaboration is more like a har- 

 monious concert and less like a batcn of studies. 

 The Nation, Aug. 1, 1S7S. 



Many will ba tempted to say that this, like the 

 'Decline and Fall,"isone of the uucmici/able books 

 Its facts ate innumerable, its deductions simple and 

 inevitable, and its chvvaux-dt-frise of references 

 bristling and dense enough to make the keenest, 

 stoutest, and best equipped assailant think twice 

 before advancing. Nor is there anythiog contro- 

 versial in it to provuke assault. The author is no 



polemic. Though he obviously feels and thinks 

 strougiy, he succeeds in attaining impartiality. 

 Wheti er looked on as a picture or a mirror, a work 

 such as this has a lasting value. Lippincott's 

 Magazine, Oct. 1878. 



Mr. Lea's curious historical monographs, of which 

 one i f the most important is here reproduced in an 

 enlarged form, have given him an unique position 

 among English and American scholars. He is dis- 

 tinguished for his recondite and affluent learning, 

 his power of exhaustive historical analysis, il V 

 breadth and accuracy of his researches among the 

 rarer sources of knowledge, the gravity and temper- 

 ance of his statements, combined with singular 

 earnestness of conviction, and his warm attachment 

 to the cau>e of human freedom and intellectual pro- 

 gress. A'. Y. Tribune, Aug. 9, 1878.

Is achapte'r on Ancient Lawlikely to be regarded as 



gr>ater learning or wiser thought. We doubt, indeed, 

 if my other study of this field can be compared with

 Examiner, Dec. 1870. 



Mr. Lea' s la test work,- Studies in Church History, 1 ' 

 fully sustains the promise of the first. It deal.- with 

 three subjects the Temnoral Power. Beaefit of 

 Clergy, and Excommunication, the record of which

 w n-ks as these with which that on "Sacerdotal 

 'Mhacv" should be included without noting th 

 literary phenomenon that the head of one oi the first 

 American houses is a.lso the writer of some of its n'ost 

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