Excerpt from Unsoundness of Mind in Relation to Criminal Acts
My Lord,
The honor your Lordship has conferred in permitting me to dedicate these pages to your Lordship, has greatly enhanced the value of that Prize, which, provided by your Lordship's enlightened liberality, invited the Author to express his opinions on the important subject of this Essay.
Your Lordship, having held successively the Great Seal in England and in Ireland, has been the legal guardian of all insane persons in this Kingdom. Your Lordship has also effected an extensive revision of the statutes, regulating the care and treatment of the insane and the protection of their property. Great, therefore, have been your opportunities of knowing to what extent this helpless and afflicted class has suffered from legislative error, and from the shortcomings of science.
