![and to its eminent publisher, Dr. Alder Blumer, who con- ceived the happy idea of having it printed at the Utica asylum by his patients and who has devised for it the neat and elegant appearance it here presents. It is assuredly the first instance of a work treating of mental alienation, writ- ten by an alienist, translated by an alienist, and, under the direction of an alienist, priTited and bound by the insane.

Bannister and Alder Blumer, to whom I stretch my hand across the seas, cordially thanking them for their valuable assistance. Bokdbatjx, February 17, 1894. E.
