Excerpt from On Feigned and Factitious Diseases
In April 1836 this work appeared in a less extended form, in competition with many others, for the prize proposed by the Professor of Military Surgery, in the University of Edinburgh, in April 1835, to the author of the best essay "On the Best Classification of the Feigned and Factitious Diseases of Soldiers and Seamen, on the Means used to simulate or produce them, and on the best Modes of detecting Impostors."
The competition was open to the students of that and the preceding years, and was conducted with the usual restrictions and forms. The Judges, Sir Geo. Ballingall and Dr. Trail, the Professors of Military Surgery and Medical Jurisprudence, and others, awarded the first prize to the following essay; which has been considerably extended, and somewhat altered since that time.
