Description

First edition, 4 vols., 8vo, 587, [1]; viii, 607, [1]; viii, 638; viii, 615, [1]pp., contemporary calf, a little rubbed, upper cover of vol. 1 detached, gilt lettering on spines. ìBrown was concerned not only with how and why patients fell ill, but also with how they get well, a rarely considered but equally pertinent question. [he] predicted that by the ëscience of analysisí there would one day be achieved ëa field of discovery in the science of mind as rich. as that of the universe withoutí.î - Hunter and MacAlpine. These lectures were published shortly after Brownís death, and excited interest in both England and the United States. The popularity of this work continued for another twenty years, enjoying greater success than any philosophical work previously published, although they never had a great reputation on the Continent, where the sensational school thought he had not gone sufficiently far in analysis. Bookplate of John Rutherfurd of Edgerston. Hunter and MacAlpine, pp.752-3; Wellcome, II, p. 250 (second edition only).
