Description
Excerpt from American Journal of Insanity, 1855-6, Vol. 12
To the mere pathologist, the insanity, of a prince is not more inter esting than that of a peasant; but to the historian, to the medical jurist, to all who are engaged in the care of the insane, the attacks of George III. Are invested with peculiar interest. He was a prominent figure in a period that teemed with great men and great events, whdse memori als are yet around us; and twice the recurrence of his disorder gave rise to a degree of political feeling that has seldom been equalled, and to political discussions that settled forever a vital principle in the British constitution.
