Gutes Exemplar. - (ohne Nummerierung). - (Englisches) IMPRESSUM: Twenty-eight hundred copies of Alexander Morisons PHYSIOGNOMICS OF MENTAL DISEASES were printed for the members of Editions Medicina Kara Ltd. at the presses of the Druckerei Holzer, Weiler im Allgau, West Germany, on a paper manufactured by the Papierfabrik Scheufelen, Oberlenningen, West-Germany. The plates for this printing were made from a copy of the 1853 Leipzig edition belonging to the Universitatsbibliothek Freiburg, West Germany, and from a copy of the 1843 London edition belonging to the Wellcome Historical Medical Library London. ... // Sir Alexander Morison M.D. (1 May 1779 ? 14 March 1866) was a Scottish physician and alienist (psychiatrist). ... For a time, Morison practised in Edinburgh, but during 1808 he moved to London; on 11 April that year he was admitted a licentiate of the College of Physicians of London, and 10 July 1841 he was elected a Fellow. He was appointed inspecting physician of lunatic asylums in Surrey in 1810, and from 7 May 1835 physician to Bethlehem Hospital. ... Morison's graduation thesis was De Hydrocephalo Phrenitico, and he became specialist in cerebral diseases and mental illness. He published in 1826 Outlines of Lectures on Mental Diseases, and in 1828 Cases of Mental Disease, with Practical Observations on the Medical Treatment. In 1840 he published The Physiognomy of Mental Diseases, an important contribution to the literature of physiognomy. It features some remarkable illustrations, including a portrait of Jonathan Martin the arsonist. ... (wiki, engl.)
