Original edition with two plates showing the faces of insane persons. Philippe Pinel was a renowned physician as an alienist, and is considered to have been a precursor of psychiatry. He was responsible for the first classification of mental illnesses. He introduced the notion of moral treatment which prefigures our modern psychotherapies. Bits a little split, other minor defects.
