Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity, 1858 Preliminary remarks. - The subject of insanity, in all its rela tions, is one of the most interesting that can engage the attention of the physician, the philanthropist, or the medical jurist; and one of the most brilliant achievements of the medical profession in modern times, is the reform which it has effected in the cure and treatment of that unfortunate class of our fellow-beings, who are afflicted with insanity; in rescuing them not merely from the neg lect, but from the cruelty and abuse which they were formerly made to suffer. The name of Pinel, who was the first to remove the chains and shackles from the insane, should be ranked with that of Harvey and Jenner, prominent among the benefactors of mankind.
