While engaged on the above paper I found that Dr. Hughlings-Jackson had already arrived at the conclusion that insanity was a failure of adjustment of the organism to its environment, and in one of his published articles there is an incidental allusion to insanity as “a loss of the most highly special adjustments of the organism to its environment,” a view not very far different from that advanced above. Having enjoyed the great advantage of a long experience in diseases of the nervous system in Dr. Hughlings-Jackson's clinic, I find it not always easy to separate the views which have been derived from his direct inspiration from those which I have arrived at by independent pursuit of the methods of thought which he teaches. In the present instance, having become acquainted with Dr. Jackson's views after the above paper was written, I am unable to fix upon him any responsibility for the views it contains, but I claim his nearly corresponding expressions as the strongest corroborative evidence of the approximate truth of my thesis.Google Scholar
