Excerpt from The Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton: Based Chiefly Upon Original Family Letters and Other Documents, Many of Which Have Never Been Published
The purpose of the writer is to utilize a large number of original letters and documents, written by Alexander Hamil ton and various members of his family as well as his con temporaries, and which in some measure throw light upon his private life and career as a soldier, lawyer, and states man. Most of these have never been published, and were left to me by my father, the late Philip Hamilton, who was his youngest son. I have no more ambitious purpose than to produce a simple narrative, for there are several impor tant works that fully and formally describe his public ser vices. The latest of these is Oliver's excellent book, which is a noble monument to the memory of Hamilton. If I have gone into detail very minutely it is because Of the belief that the familiar side of his life will be of interest to a great many people who have hitherto been furnished only with unauthen tic generalities.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Nervous Diseases: Their Description and Treatment: A Manual for Students and Practitioners of Medicine
It has been my object to produce a concise, practical book; and should the satisfaction be ever accorded me of knowing that I have made the subjects of Diagnosis and Treatment of Nervous Diseases more simple to my readers than I think they now are, I shall be amply rewarded for the task I have undertaken.
I have not considered Insanity, because I believe that this subject deserves much more extended notice than it could possibly receive in a book of this size and kind.
I have deemed it advisable to include a short article upon Cerebro Spinal Meningitis, though, by many authorities, it is not regarded, strictly Speaking, as a nervous disease. I think, if for no other reason, its interesting diagnostic relations entitle it to consideration.

Allan McLane Hamilton was an American physician, educator and writer. He was a professor of Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College in New York.
Background
Allan McLane Hamilton was born on October 6, 1848, in New York City, New York, United States. He was of most distinguished ancestry. His father, Philip Hamilton, a well-known member of the bar, was the son of Alexander Hamilton, and his mother, Rebecca, was the daughter of Louis McLane, minister to England and member of Jackson’s cabinet.
Education
As a boy Allan attended school in New York and Brooklyn. Later he was sent to the Poughkeepsie Military Institute. In 1865 he made a voyage around the Horn to California. Having registered as a pupil with Dr. Henry B. Sands, he began in 1867 the study of medicine and took his degree at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1870, winning two prizes for excellence in studies.
Career
After graduation Allan Hamilton opened an office on East Twenty-eighth Street the following year, but as financial returns were slow he obtained a salaried position as inspector for the board of health and also did newspaper work. From 1871 to 1880 Hamilton was connected with the Health Department. He speaks of this period as “nine years of slavery, ” made sordid through the ignorance of tenement dwellers and the greed of politicians. He could have been health commissioner but this would have meant a political assessment of $5, 000, and he withdrew his name. He put these years to the best possible collateral use, however. Soon Hamilton was fairly launched in his career as a consulting neurologist and medical witness in mental cases and was one of a very few American physicians who could and did practise in Great Britain. For three years, 1900-1903, he was professor of mental diseases at Cornell University Medical College.
Hamilton believed strongly in recreational activity and constant change. He therefore became a great traveler, crossed the Atlantic fifty times, and made long sojourns in Japan, Northern Africa, Italy, and Great Britain, to say nothing of trips to all regions of the United States. His autobiographic work, Recollections of an Alienist, Personal and Professional (1916), discusses in the first part his social contacts and the second part his leading professional experiences with celebrities. These he could give without breach of confidence for all were matters of public record.
Hamilton testified in more than a hundred homicidal cases, in which insanity was a defense, including those of the presidential assassins Guiteau and Czolgosz. His opinions in outside cases are always of interest. His medical works were not classics, and the author never seemed greatly concerned with the ultimate future of his writings. He contributed many articles to magazines and for one year, 1875-1876, edited the American Psychological Journal. Hamilton died at his summer home at Great Barrington, Massachusetts, following a period of invalidism.

Membership
Hamilton was a founding member of the New York Psychiatrical Society.
Personality
It has been said of him that, although Hamilton accomplished a great deal in his life, his performances were not in proportion to his true ability. He was too versatile, too restless, and too far in advance of his time to reap the fullest reward of his accomplishments.
Connections
Hamilton was twice married. His second wife was May (Copeland) Tomlinson of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, whom he married on March 27, 1902.
