Reprint from The Alienist and Neurologist, October, 1883. Report on Bibliography. PRESENTED TO THE THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL MEETING OF SUPERINTENDENTS OF AMERICAN HOSPITALS FOR THE INSANE, AT NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, JUNE, 1883. / | "'HE present year has seen many works on psychiatry issued into existence. In England,. Tuke has con- tributed a valuable historical work, to the literature of this subject. In France, Luys, Bra, Ball, Bonnet and Voisin have written systematic works on insanity. Billod has collected his scattered contributions into two large volumes; Magnan has produced an interesting volume on Epilepsy; Mairet, one on Melancholic Dementia; Castaing, a small work on Chronic Mania; Mobit and Durantel, sfnall works on Recurrent Mania; Le Grand du Saulle, an extended and valuable treatise on Hysteria; Rougier, a small essay on Melancholia, from locomotor ataxia; Regis, a small work on Progressive Paresis in the Female; Bourneville, one on Idiocy, Hysteria and Epi- lepsy; Descourtis, one on the Divisibility of Mental Operations; Ribot, a work on Psychical Heredity, and one on Diseases of the Memory; Paris, an essay on Ambitious Delusions; Lelorrain, one on The Insane from a Penal Point of View; Broquere, one on Apoplecti- form and Epileptiform Attacks in Progressive Paresis; Roux, one on Ethyl Bromide in Epilepsy and Mania. In Germany a new edition of Krafft-Ebing's Lehrbuch, has appeared, and a work by Arndt. Mendel’s work on Mania, is a contribution of decided value. In Italy, Ver- ga’s work on the Classification of Insanity, looms up prominently. In the United States and Canada, alienists have been very active in the production of works. Griesinger has been reproduced, unaltered from the Syd- enham Society translation in an American edition. Drs. 2 Report 07i Bibliography. W. A. Hammond, E. C. Spitzka and E. C. Mann have published systematic works on Insanity; while Drs. H. P. Stearns and E. C. Spitzka have discussed the .Etiology of Insanity. The first deals with the general aetiology; the second with the somatic only. In Canada, Dr. Howard has published a small work on the “ Philosophy of Insan- ity, Crime and Responsibility.” Dr. Worcester (a homce- opathist) has also written on Insanity in general. No less than five new journals devoted to Psychiatry, have appeared. Of these, two are American, one is German, one Italian and one Russian. It will be obvious from these that the tide of periodical psychiatrical literature is growing in vol- ume, and to chronicle even the titles of the same is no mean task. A bibliography is always a matter of perhaps equal fatigue to the reader and writer. SPECIAL PSYCHOSES. The contributions to the special psychoses are by no means few. Drs. G. Alder Blumer,1 P. M. Wise2 J. C. Shaw,3 Charcot,4 Raggi5 and Sterz,6 have reported cases of sexual perversion, corroborating the views expressed by Westphal, Krafft-Ebing and others, that this type of mental alienation occurs in hereditarily defective indi- viduals, and is characterized by the fact that the male is attracted by the male, and vice versa. Transitory insanity has been analyzed by Brush,7 Lowenfeld,8 Lombroso,9 Burns,10 Kiernan,11 Engelhorn,12 Spitzka13 and Delafield,14 whose reported cases confirm the views of Krafft-Ebing and Schwartzer.

Mills,3 McFarland and Kiernan. * Baillarger and Frigerio discuss the question whether there be not paralytic insanities of different aetiology, prognosis, and clinical course. Seppilli discusses at length the ques- tion of progressive paresis in the female, and disproves Neumann’s assertion that this psychosis does not occur among females. He is of opinion that the climacteric is not without influence in the production of this psychosis in the female. Mendel has recently discussed at length melancholia, in the same clear analytical way which gave his study qf mania so much interest. He defines melancholia as a functional cerebral disease, attended by morbid psychical phenomena, which has for its basis a morbid excitability of the sensitive side of the mind. In the typical melan- cholia, there are three stages,—a stage of depression, in which the patient although depressed, has not lost the power of appreciating his relations to his surroundings; a stage of melancholia, in which this power is lost, and the patient has delusions or hallucinations of a moral or physical nature ; a stage of decline. Besides this typical form there is : First, The so-called “ mild melancholia ” of the Americans; the “ reasqning melancholia ” of the French, which lacks the melancholic stage. Second, Che melancholia attonita. Third, The melancholia periodica. Morse has also discussed the same subject, and Kier- nanr has briefly confirmed Mendel. Moral Insanity,—that morbid entity which has been claimed to be unknown to science, seems to have had much attention directed to it dur- ing the past year. It has been discussed by Hughes,5 Gas- quet,6 Manley,7 Andrusski,8 Magnan,9 Hollander,10 Work- 1. Allgemeine Zeitschrlft fuer Psychiatrie, Band XXXIX., 188.2. 2.

Folsom ;3 and the weight of authority during the year is in favor of the existence of the psychosis denominated by Morel, Ray, Conolly, Krafft- Ebing, Schiile, Tuke and Crichton-Browne, moral insanity. On the other hand the New York Medical Society, at its 1882 meeting, passed a resolution that the alienist was not justified in drawing conclusions as to sanity from moral manifestations of conduct, that department pertain- ing exclusively to law. Primary Monomania has been discussed by Pasternazki,4 Burr,5 Andrusski,6 Buccola7 and Spitzka,8 who confirm the conclusion of Sander that there is a congenital type of insanity dependent on cor- tical malformation rather than disease. Katatonia first described by Kahlbaum, in 1874, whose existence was sub- sequently confirmed by the researches of Kiernan, Brosius and Hecker, has been discussed by Lafenauer,9 Kiernan10 and Hammond j11 and their researches are fully confirm- atory of those already cited. Reasoning Mania has been discussed by Hammond and Chase,13 and its relations to primary monomania seem clearly demonstrated. Hebephrenia, or insanity of pubescence, has been dis- cussed by Burr,14 who confirms pre-existing researches on the subject. He alludes to the fact that religiosity and sexual ideas are often concomitant or alternate, as noted by Workman and others. In a general way his results corroborate those of Hecker and Kahlbaum. Folie du doute has been discussed by Ball15 and 1. Canadian Practitioner, February, 1883. 2. Archiviadi Psichlatria, No. 1, 1882. 3. New York Medical Journal, February, 1882. 4.

Tamburini.1 Under this title are included toxophobia and allied conditions. Tamburini divides it into the metaphysical type, whose intellect is affected by endless imperative metaphysical conceptions; the realistic type, in whom trivial realistic imperative conceptions affect the patient; the scrupulous type, whose morbid impulses relate to the question of conscience ; the timorous type, who fear to compromise themselves by any act, however simple ; the calculating type, who find themselves forced to calculate ; and finally, a type in which the contact of external objects is feared. Megalomania is discussed by Foville. The types of insanity occurring at certain periods, in childhood, old age, in pregnancy, during lactation, etc., have been discussed by Hughes,2 Leidesdorf,3 Gauthier,4 Savage,5 Guermon- prez,6 Mackintosh,7 Moller,8 Kiernan,9 Cohn,10 Magnan,11 Griffin,12 Berner13 and Hammond.14 Acute Delirious Mania, the typhomania of Bell, has been discussed by Gene15 and Kiernan.16 Periodical and Circular Insanity has attracted the attention of Koster,17 Foville,18 Haase,19 Ritti,20 Hurd,21 Taguet,22 and Schafer,23 who confirm previous researches. 1.

Communicated Insanity, or folie a deux, has been discussed by Morandan de Montezel,1 Kiernan,2 Hughes,3 Lehman,4 Bouteille, Savage and Gill.5 In general these researches tend to show that several varieties of dis- tinct insanity are collected together under the term folie a deux. Some of the cases originate from the intercom- munication of delusions ; and others, as has been pointed out by Hughes and de Montezel, arise from one insane patient imitating another’s delusion. MECONISM. On dipsomania, opiophagism, etc., there have appeared valuable papers from Drs. Evarts, Crothers, Mattison, Kane, Mann, Blodgett, Wright and others. There is to be noticed an increasing number of articles on inebriety and its kindred states of alienation, and of perversity associated with the abuse of drugs or stimulants. It is becoming an important problem for the student of psychiatry to determine what is the real mental condition in these cases, and what dis- posal should be made of these victims of constitutional disease, vice and sin ; for, since psychiatry is so simplified that half what the fathers of psychiatry held to be taint of blood or moral cretinism is relegated to the turnkey and headsman, and it is authoritatively declared that dipso- mania is drunkenness—-another name for crime, we shall, in the near future, have to meet this question, “ What punishment shall be meted out to this crime, since the thirty and ninety days’ sentences of the police courts are confessedly powerless for reform ?” In other words, since we close our doors against them as not insane, what must society do with them as criminals ? It is a question which must be met, for this sphinx of the unguessed riddle is devouring her victims at a fearful rate. 1. L’Encephale, No. 3, 1882. 2. Alienist and Neurologist, April, 1883. 3.

[Note.—To these are to be added six papers on different aspects of opium addiction, by Dr. J. B. Mattison, published in the N. Y. Medical Record, Medical Gazette, Cincinnati Lancet and Clinic, N.E. Medical Monthly, St. Louie Courier and the Journal of Inebriety.'] M, J. Madigan1 discusses the relations of insanity to diabetes, and finds that these two diseases alter- nate at times. Gundry2 discusses the interrelations of abdominal disease and insanity. Munson3 reports cases of insanity complicated by Addison’s disease. Fritsch4 reports cases of insanity cured by erysipelas. Campbell5 and de Montezel6 report cases where typhoid fever exerted both a favorable and unfavorable influence on insanity. Madi- gan7 and Kiernan8 discuss the influence exerted on insanity by small-pox and vaccination, which they find to be some- times favorable and sometimes the reverse. Kiernan9 also discusses the relation of gout to insanity. Howden10 reports a case of insanity associated with osteo malaria. Ball11 and Ringrose Atkins12 discuss insanity in its rela- tions to paralysis agitans. Wigglesworth13 discusses the relations of insanity to chorea. Brueger14 and Raymond15 analyze the relations of kidney disease to insanity. Shaw,16 Sioli17 and Kiernan18 find that progressive paresis produces arthropathies similar to those of locomotor ataxia; and Christian19 has found perforating ulcer of the foot to exist in progressive paresis.

Report on Bibliography. 9 Othaematoma, or as it is more commonly called, haema- toma auris, or the insane ear, has been discussed by Biaute, 1 who claims that it is of trophic, not traumatic, origin; by Kiernan,2 who is of the same opinion ; by Hammond3 and Spitzka,4 who both agree as to the possibility of traumatism acting as an exciting cause, but that insanity is a predispos- ing cause of a very powerful nature. Hallock5 has proposed blisters behind the ears as a means of treating this com- plication. An explanation of the origin of this complication is to be found in Dastre and Morat’s0 discoveries respect- ing the vasomotor nerves of the ear and the vessels of the same. yETIOLOGY,: The psychoses produced by toxic agencies have been much discussed. Hassler,1 Konig,2 Smidt3 and Schede4 report acute and chronic psychoses due to iodoform. Depression was the prevailing type. Barbowes,5 Bog- donow,6 Diesterweg,7 Charkey8 and Strieker9 report psychoses due to the use of salicylic acid, depression being the type. Bannister,10 Jewell,11 Hughes12 and Kiernan13 find that two types of insanity result from the use of the bromides in epilepsy; one due to the suppression of the convulsions; the other directly due to the drug, Dr. T. L. Wright14 and Frigerio15 have discussed the aetiological 1. Annales Medico-Psychologiques, July, 1882. 2. Detroit Lancet, July, 1883. 3. Treatise on Insanity. 4.

Fabre de Parrel2 has found that systematized insanity results from alcohol. Moreau de Tours3 and Gnauck4 find that carbonic oxide poisoning sometimes produces insanity of a depressing type. Binswanger5 reports a case of insanity due to brass poisoning, and very similar cases due to lead are reported by Moli,6 Ulrich,7 Kiernan8 and Goodheart,9 who also report chronic psychoses due to the same cause. Rennert10 finds that chronic lead poisoning in the ancestor gives rise to macrocephalic idiotic chil- dren. Delafield11 reports cases of transitory furor due to quinine, and a like case is reported by Kiernan,12 who also reports13 other types of insanity, due to the same cause. Kiernan reports cases of insanity due to second- ary syphilis. Otis14 and Hughes15 have reported cases of acute insanity due to syphilis. Obersteiner,16 Snell,17 Kier- nan,18 Lange19 and J. Oebeke,20 claim that the type- of progressive paresis produced by syphilis cannot be dis- tinguished from the ordinary types. Berry21 has discussed dementia from syphilis.

Spitzka1 reports a case of moral insanity due to scarlet fever, and psychoses of like origin are reported by Ayer,2 Wicks3 and Kier- nan.4 Madigan,6 Wicks6 and Kiernan,7 report cases of insanity due to measles. W. H. Daly8 reports a case of insanity due to typhoid fever. Wicks,9 a case of insanity due to vaccination. Traumatism in relation to the pro- duction of insanity, has been discussed by Verity,10 who gives a good resume of the literature of the subject, Mickle,11 Spitzka,12 Lombroso13 and McGee.14 The last was the case of a man who became morally insane after an injury, and had a morally imbecile son born after the receipt of the injury. Guermonprez15 finds that depression of the skull in children gives rise to psychical symptoms. Leides- dorf16 discusses the effects produced by synostosis of the skull sutures. It should be remembered, that, Vir- chow’s hypothesis to the contrary notwithstanding, this is an expression of a congenital deficiency, not the cause of microcephalus, and that, acting on an already defective brain, it might produce pathological changes. Fiirst- ner,17 discusses the influence of aural affections on the psychoses, and shows that such influence has been much over-estimated. Ripping,18 Danillo,19 Mairet and Cleaves,20 show that female diseases are not as potent in the pro- duction of insanity as has been supposed, although 1.

The influence of heat in the production of insanity has been discussed by Brush3 and Kiernan.4 Mendel,5 discusses the psychical results of cerebral haemorrhage. The moral causes of insanity are discussed by Chapman6 and Kiernan.7 The works on aetiology, specially deserving attention are Krapelin’s Monograph, Spitzka’s Monograph, and the Monograph of Stearns. 5YMPTOMA TOLOGY. Low temperature as a symptom of insanity, is discussed by Howard,1 Haase,2 Bechterew and Heboid,3 and Kier- nan.4 Ball,5 discusses hallucinations in their relation to otitis, and the same are discussed by Fiirstner.6 Bail- larger,7 discusses hallucinations in progressive paresis, and agrees with Mickle, that these are unsystematized. Oeffinger,8 discusses the sense of smell in lunatics. jChadzinski,9 Frigerio10 and Kiernan,11 discuss self-mutilatiort in the insane, and its probable psychic basis. Moli,12 dis- cusses the optic conditions of the insane, and Buccola13 the pupillary conditions of paresis. Mickle,14 discusses kneejerk in paretics, Seppilli,15 discusses the blood of the in- sane; Albertotti,16 discusses the tactile sense in lunatics; 1. American Psychological Journal, No. 1, 1883. 2.

Browne,1 Riva,2 Russell3 and Spitzka,4 regard Guiteau as insane and irresponsible; while Karrer6 leaves the question an open one, and Drs. W. A. Hammond, 6 Herrick,7 Henry,8 Bigelow,9 Reynolds,10 regard Guiteau as insane, but responsible. The editors of the Annales Medico-Psychologiques cite Dr. Folsom’s11 paper as ex- pressive of their views. The question of responsibility has been discussed by Drs. Hammond,12 Reynolds,13 Palmer14 and Bigelow,15 who take very Spartan views of the subject; while the more humane view is taken by Dr. Ira Russell,16 Kane,17 Ball,18 Fritsch,19 L. C. Gray,20 Krafft- Ebing,21 Seppilli,22 Tamburini,23 Freyer,24 Schwartzer,25 Cylits,26 Tuke,27 Liman,28 Manouvrier,29 Neumann,30 Spitzka31 and Howard.32 The Medico-Legal Relations of Cranial Asymmetry have been discussed by Dr. H.

The Concealment of Insanity by the Insane has been discussed by Dr. Brower.6 The Forensic Relations of Attacks on Asylum Officials have been analyzed by Kiernan,7 who cites cases to show that the insane may give sane reasons for an attack undertaken from insane motives. Similar cases to those cited by Kiernan are reported by Giraud.8 The Forensic Aspects of Sexual Perversion have been discussed by Kirn9 and Krafft-Ebing.10 The Forensic Aspects of Incendiarism have been analyzed by Giraud.11 The Burden of Proof in Insanity has been recently decided in Indiana12 to rest upon the State. This decision, which is in accord with an Illinois and Washington decision, is opposed to the decision of Judge Cox, in the Guiteau case, but is in support of the views of Judge Sedgewick,13 who says that “ in such cases it would seem as if the presumption of innocence, if it is to be of any value, must belong to whatever facts are involved in the idea of innocence.” The Question of Lucid Intervals has been dis- cussed by Drs. Hammond14 and Clymer,15 who claim that except in the periodical insanities, true lucid intervals in a legal sense do not exist. 1. Allgemeine Zeitschrift fuer Psychiatrie, Band XXXIX. 2. Ibid. 3.

Report on Bibliography. 19 Insanity in its Relations to Divorce has been dis- cussed by Ball1 and Savage,2 who cite the case of a melancholiac who refused to allow marital consummation, and whose insanity was shown to have existed before marriage. It appears that the English common law regards insanity existing before marriage as a cause for divorce. Luys3 and Blanche4 agree that the English common law view of the subject is just. The subject of Feigned Insanity has been discussed by Krafft-Ebing,5 who reports the case of a criminal who feigned dementia, and was detected by his acting in obedience to suggested symptoms; Spitzka6 reports a similar case. Dr. Robertson7 reports the case of a thief who feigned insanity; but Dr. Robertson’s reasons for regarding this insanity as a feint are insufficient, since the co-existence of depressing and exalted delusions occur in many types of insanity, and deficient memory of recent events, with good memory of past, is a very com- mon phenomenon of insanity. Simulation of Insanity by the Insane has been dis- cussed by Morandon de Montezel,8 Kiernan,9 Nichols,10 Spitzka,11 Hammond,12 Hughes13 and Bluthardt,14 who cor- roborate the views first advanced in a systematic article by Hughes.15 In dealing with the subject of simulation, this fact should always be taken into consideration. The Self-Recognition of Insanity is another factor which must be taken into account in dealing with the 1. L’fcncbphale, 1882. 2. Journal of Mental Science, April, 1882. 3. L’ Encephale, 1882. 4.

Eller,10 Clark Bell,11. Channing,12 Ball13 and Brower.14 The Forensic Relations of Aphasia have been dis- cussed by Rosseau15 and Jolly,16 who agree that aphasiacs are not necessarily destitute of testamentary capacity. Criminal Lunatics are discussed by Voisin,17 Pon- toppidan,18 Channing19 and Howard.20 It is hoped that no one will take offense at this imperfect sketch of the bibliography of insanity, during the past year, if he has been unintentionally omitted. Since the hour is coming when it will be a proud distinction to a man, that, living in the last quarter of the nine- teenth century, he simply did his duty, neither speculated nor peculated; and, dying universally respected, they wrote above him, as the best evidence of his philanthropy, this inscription: “For he had compassion on the multitude, and published nothing—not even his memoir.” C.
