(A controversial psychiatrist, Lyttleton Stewart Forbes Wi...)
A controversial psychiatrist, Lyttleton Stewart Forbes Winslow (1844-1913) grew up around the lunatic asylums run by his father, Forbes B. Winslow, who was a specialist in the treatment of mental illness, establishing also medical grounds for the plea of insanity in criminal defence. Lyttleton spent much of his own medical career attempting to show the courts that crime and alcoholism were linked to mental illness, though he later gained notoriety for his amateur detective work: he claimed to know the identity of Jack the Ripper. Published in 1874, this book examines, often through case descriptions, the legal framework within which the mentally ill were managed, and comparisons are made with the status quo elsewhere in the world. It is an enlightening but often disturbing insight into the institutional treatment of mental illness in the late nineteenth century.

Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... women. One is the delusion that men are in love with them. I have come across many women who, while labouring under a delusion that some man had encouraged them in their feelings, would continue to persecute him in their attentions. This form of female mania is often directed against clergymen. Something that he has said in his sermon will be construed by a woman as affecting her, and perhaps she will write numerous letters to him, until he has no alternative but to communicate with the girl's friends to stop the persecutions. Women who pursue Clergymen.--One typical case I recall. It is that of an elderly lady who repeated to me the oft-told story that a rector of a parish, himself a married man, had been alluding to her in his sermons. Wherever he went she pursued him; every gesture, every word was interpreted by her to mean something. She took copious notes of what he said in his discourses, and gave to such expression her own meaning, until the idea became such au intolerable nuisance that the rector had no alternative but to caution her relatives. In whatever church he preached, there she was found, occupying a conspicuous position among the congregation. She had to be eventually placed in an institution. This is a form of moral insanity, and the victims to it are, as a rule, elderly females of by no means prepossessing appearance. There is a typical class of such cases, and many vicars of large parishes can bear me out in what I now say. But clergymen are not the only victims! A short time ago I saw a lady who entertained the same delusions with reference to a member of Parliament, and persecuted him with her letters, conspicuous by their length. She had favoured me for a very long time with her lengthy effusions relating to this matter,...
