An Inquiry Into the State of Mind of W. F. Windham, Esq. of Fellbrigg Hall, Norfolk

Résumé du livre

The case was tried before the physician, writer, and 'Master in Lunacy' Samuel Warren with accompanying testimony given by none other than Forbes Winslow and D.H. Tuke among others. The case was quite a public spectacle for "Mad" Windham, recently married, was a slovenly newlywed with a passion for playing policeman and railway engineer while purportedly carrying on with three women. A most enjoyable case to read. "Mad" Windham was found to be perfectly sane. There are 2 full page woodcut portraits of Winslow and Tuke, as well as Windham and others.
