sehr seltene EA des berühmten Werkes. - Battie (1704-1776) ist einer der ersten und bekanntesten englischen Psychiater, der das "Mad Business" zu einem Spezialfach der Medizin emporhob (HUNTER/MACALPINE 402ff.). Das St. Luke's Hospital, welches er gründete, verstand sich erstmals als Behandlungsstätte (cure statt care). Zudem bildete Battie hier Ärzte und Studenten in der Psychiatrie aus und machte Kranken somit erstmals sichtbar. Seine Gegenspieler (Monro) im Bethlehem Hospital hatten nie über ihre Behandlungen und Maßnahmen publiziert; erst als Reaktion auf Battie erschien noch im gleichen Jahr die Monographie von John Monro ("Remarks on Dr Battie`s Treatise on Madness). - NORMAN 137 Battie introduced an number of innovations to psychiatry: he was the first in England to teach the subject as a medical speciality; he used new neuro-physiological concepts (such as Haller's irritability) in an attempt to explain the phenomena of mental illness; he originated the useful distinction between "original " (functional) and "consequential" (organic) madness; and he recognised (contrary to contemporary opinion) that mental patients often recovered spontaneously without physical treatment, or when such treatment was stopped.

Zustand: Wie neu. Original First Edition. Octavo. 430 pages [plus a four-page catalogue of "Important Works Relating to Ireland, printed for or sold by Milliken and Son", bound before the publication] / [plus a four-page "Appeal in [sic] Behalf of the Association Incorporated for Discountenancing Vice &c."]. Original Hardcover / Publisher's rare, printed spine-binding. In protective Mylar. Unusually excellent, actually stunning interior condition, with some minor signs of external wear only. Extremely rare publication. This very rare book, the first edition of the Eye-Witness-Report of the "Royal Commission for inquiring into the condition of the poorer classes in Ireland" is one of the most important sources for living-conditions of the Irish population in the 19th century and it is recording the Status of the Poor in Ireland, 10 years prior to the Irish Potato Famine [Gorta Mór], in all of its shocking detail. The Commission's "Roadmap"-Introduction is signed [in print] by Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, who spearheaded the Commission shortly before his death and sent the Commission-members on their way with a stern and meaningful address. The 1835-Report is exceptional in regard to the serious inquiries, actually "interviews", taken by important and respected members of 19th century Society and Establishment in England, Scotland and Ireland. The publication reports on the situation of "Deserted and Orphan Children", "Bastardy", "Widows with young Children", "Impotent through Age", "Sick Poor", "Able-Bodied out of Work" [listing Irish subjects from the Parish of Kilcrest as example for their misery, like Farmer Andrew Barrett, Schoolmaster Patrick Cassidy, Farmer John Coy, Mason Michael Grady, Weaver Peter Leonard, Baker James Mac Tighe, Beggar Terence O'Loughlin, Carpenter John Sharpe, Farmer Michael Smyth etc.] / lists further "Vagrants" / Vagrancy [Homelessness]" etc. The commission has visited and names families in Parishes up and down the Country of Ireland, from Skull [Schull] in West Carbery [West Cork] to Londonderry back to Valencia Island, Cong to Tipperary and inquired at remote locations as far as the "Parish of Valencia - Island of Valencia", where they interviewed Rev. Mr. Day, Rector of Valencia Island / The Commission visited further for example: Parishes of Tralee and Ardfert with Baronies of Clanmaurice and Trughenackmy, Parish Kilrea including the town of Kilrea, Parish of Kilkeever - Barony of Murrisk, Parishes of Fahan, upper and lower, Town of Buncrana - Barony of Ennishowen. Parish of Tomfinloe, Barony of Bunratty, Parish of Dingle - Barony of Corkaguiney, Parish of Kilfarboy, including the town of Miltown Malbay, Union of Kilcock, Town of Ballina and Ardnaree - Barony of Trawley, Parishes of Glenavy Union, Parish of Cong etc. etc. The reports are detailed and personal and give an insight into the early 19th century diets of beggars etc. ["page 379: "The form in which relief is given to beggars is in potatoes, fragments of meat and vegetables left at dinner."] From the Preface of Commissioner Bathurst: "We would be graciously pleased to issue a Commission to inquire into the condition of the Poorer Classes of our Subjects in Ireland, and into the various Institutions at present established by Law for their Relief; Know ye, that we, reposing great trust and confidence in your intelligence, discretion and diligence, having authorized and appointed and by these Presents do authorize and appoint you the said Richard Archbishop of Dublin, Daniel Murray, Charles Vignoles, Richard More O'Ferrall, James Carlile, Fenton Hort, John Corrie, James Naper, and William Battie Wrightson, to inquire into the condition of the Poorer Classes of our Subjects in Ireland.[.].and we do further by these presents . full power and authority to cause all persons to bring and produce upon Oath before you, or any one or more of you, all and singular Records, Books, Papers and other Writings touching the premises.[.]" [Bathurst].…

First edition. 4to. 210x130mm. pp. vii, [i], 99, [1bl]. Modern speckled calf, borders to upper and lower covers decorated in blind, spine lettered in gilt. Some foxing and browning but overall a very good copy of a scarce and ground-breaking book on madness and mental health. William Battie (1703-76) was a Fellow of the Royal Society and President of the Royal College of Physicians. His principal medical interest was in what he called "the mad business". He worked at Bethlem which at that time was located in Moorfields on the edge of the City of London (it still exists as a psychiatric hospital in South London and is the oldest such institution in the world). Horrified by the conditions and poor treatment at Bethlem (not least the practice of allowing the public to pay to observe the patients), Battie founded, in 1751, St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics under the patronage of the Earl of Cardigan to whom this book is dedicated. St Luke's was built next to Bethlem and was intended as a form of rebuke to the cruelty of the older hospital. The treatment initiated by Battie was more humane (he banned the public from viewing the patients) using modern medical techniques and an early form of therapy. In setting up St Luke's, Battie and his supporters were also seeking to encourage more doctors to practice in this field. Among Battie's patients at St Luke's was the poet Christopher Smart who entered the hospital in 1757. Battie begins his Treatise with a plea for a greater understanding of madness which he describes as a "very frequent calamity". He laments the fact that few doctors take the illness seriously and those that do are reluctant to share their knowledge with the result that advances in the treatment of the mentally ill are few and slow. The subject of madness was hidden away. Battie's book and his work at St Luke's sought, in his words, "to discover the causes, effects and cures of Madness". Battie believed that madness took two forms: the "original" which had no clear cause and he felt could not be fully cured, and the "consequential" caused by trauma or some other external factor. It is on this latter form that Battie concentrates and to which he applies early psychiatric treatments. Indeed, in writing this book, in giving greater attention to the subject of madness and its treatment, and in arguing for psychiatry as a distinct medical discipline, Battie can perhaps be seen as the father of a recognisably modern understanding of mental illness.
