Description
Philadelphia: Blanchard & Lea, 1860. First American edition. First American edition. 576, 32 pp. Bound in publisher's ornately-blindstamped brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. Very Good+, dulled lettering, cloth a little worn and slightly frayed along edges, a few small scratches to spine, name written on front free endpaper, slight wave to textblock. Nice shape overall. A Victorian psychology text with many accounts of various mental illnesses such as hallucinations, hydrophobia (fear of water), epilepsy, muteness, and brain damage written by the British psychiatrist best-known for his involvement with the Jack the Ripper case. Winslow claimed to have identified the serial killer as lodger G. Wentworth Smith, a theory he propounded for many years so vigorously that at one point Winslow himself was considered a suspect in the crime by police.
