The British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review (April, 1866) on the “Lunacy Commissioners' Blue Boohs;” a Note

Extract

The current number (April, 1866) of the ‘British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review’ contains an article on the “Lunacy Commissioners' Blue Books,” on which I wish to say a few words. The high character of that Review and of its editor (Dr. J. W. Ogle, physician to St. George's Hospital), gives a weight to the opinions of the writers of its articles, and almost compels on our part a notice of their statements when such are either inaccurate or unfair to members of the department of the profession which in these pages we represent.
