Not illustrated. 1858 Excerpt: ...existed. Thus if the attention be strongly fixed on a distant object, impressions made on the skin will not induce sensation; but if the attention be directed to the skin, its sensibility often becomes wonderfully excited, and pain is experienced from the contact of bodies that, under ordinary circumstances, would scarcely be felt. The same rule applies to all the other senses. In the same manner the reasoning power is often increased on a particular point, and a variety of things performed, or movements gone through, that the individual otherwise could never have accomplished. Some men perform all the acts which at the time are suggested to them, or describe the various scenes which in imagination are placed before them. In this way a somnambulist may be made not only to think and converse on any subject, but to go through any kind of action, however ridiculous or even fatiguing. He will place himself under every variety of condition presented to his mind, and perform the appropriate motions, as well as give utterance to the ideas which such conditions would naturally give rise to. Thus he may be made to hunt, swim, fight, appear intoxicated, visit distant cities or lands, &c. None of these acts and ideas are remembered in the ordinary waking condition, although when again thrown into a similar state, they may be taken up and continued. Such a person may be said to have two kinds of memory,--one when awake, and one when dreaming; or, as it has been called by some, a double consciousness. Somnambulism may come on involuntarily, at regular or irregular periods, or it may be excited artificially. In either case it may be accompanied by various nervous phenomena, denominated catalepsy, trance, ecstacy, and so on. Mono-ideism.--Dreaming and the phenomena of...

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine I have availed myself of numerous illustrations engraved on wood, having been long persuaded that mere description of morbid appearances, and especially of those that are made visible by means of the microscope, communicate only feeble or imperfect ideas to others. Of these illustrations, such as are borrowed have the name of their authors appended; such as have no name attached are original.

John Hughes Bennett was born in London, United Kingdom on the 31st of August 1812.
John was educated at Exeter, and being destined for the medical profession was articled to a surgeon in Maidstone. In 1833 he began his studies at Edinburgh, and in 1837 graduated with the highest honours. During the next four years he studied in Paris and Germany.
In 1841 Bennett published a Treatise on Cod-liver Oil as a Therapeutic Agent. In the same year he began to lecture as an extra-academical teacher on histology, drawing attention to the importance of the microscope in the investigation of disease; and as physician to the Royal Dispensary he instituted courses of "polyclinical medicine. " In 1843 he was appointed professor of the institutes of medicine at Edinburgh, and performed the duties of that chair with great energy till incapacitated by failing health. He resigned in 1874. In August 1875 he was able to be present at the meeting of the British Medical Association in Edinburgh, on which occasion he received the degree of LL. D. , but the fatigue he then underwent brought on a relapse, and he was compelled to have the operation of lithotomy performed. He sank rapidly and died on the 25th of September at Norwich.
His publications were very numerous including Lectures on Clinical Medicine (1850 - 1856), which in second and subsequent editions were called Clinical Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine, and were translated into various languages, including Russian and Hindu; Leucocythaemia (1852), the first recorded cure of which was published by him in 1845; Outlines of Physiology (1858), reprinted from the 8th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Pathology and Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (1853); Textbook of Physiology (1871 - 1872).
He was also elected President of the Royal Medical Society, Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, and a vice-president of the Anatomical and Physiological Society. In 1859 he was elected President of the Harveian Society. He is considered the father of physiological education in medical schools. His main contribution to medicine has been the first description of leukemia as a blood disorder (1845). In 1901, the University of Edinburgh inaugurated the John Hughes Bennett Laboratory of Experimental Pathology. A second laboratory with his name was opened in 1998, in a joint venture between Britain's Leukaemia Research Fund, the University of Edinburgh and the Western General Hospital Trust.

The former set forth his lifelong conviction that the problems of society must be an integral part of Christian thinking; the latter championed the existence of a universal or "common" morality upon which specifically Christian ethics builds and to which it can appeal. Between 1938 and 1943 Bennett taught at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California.
In 1939 he was ordained a Congregational minister.
While at Union, Bennett fostered alliances with theological seminaries of various faiths, including the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Woodstock Theological Seminary, a Roman Catholic institution.
He became politically engaged as vice-chairman of the Liberal party in New York State (1955 - 1965) and, in1960, as a leading Protestant defender of John F. Kennedy's candidacy against those who feared a Roman Catholic president.
Among them are Christian Ethics and Social Policy (1946), Christianity and Communism Today (1948; rev. 1960), The Christian as Citizen (1955), Christians and the State (1958), Nuclear Weapons and the Conflict of Conscience (editor; 1962), When Christians Make Political Decisions (1964), Christian Social Ethics in a Changing World (editor; 1966), and Foreign Policy in Christian Perspective (1966).
He was a member of the Royal Medical Society, Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, and the Anatomical and Physiological Society. In 1843 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 1873, he was elected a member of the French Academy of Medicine.
On 22 August 1844 Bennett married Jessie Samuel (1824–1906). They had a son Dr Alexander Hughes Bennett (1848-1901) who became a consultant neurologist in London and four daughters.
