Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Pliny Earle was born on December 31, 1809 at at Leicester, Massachusetts, United States. He was the brother of Thomas Earle, and the son of Pliny Earle and Patience (Buffum) Earle.
He studied at the Leicester Academy and later at the Friends’ School, Providence, Rhode Island, from which he graduated in 1828.
He taught in this institution until 1835 when he was made principal, but in the meantime began the study of medicine under Dr. Usher Parsons and took his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1837.
Pliny taught in this institution until 1835 when he was made principal. He then devoted a year to walking the general hospitals of Paris and a second year to a tour of inspection of European insane asylums from England to Turkey. Returning to the United States, he was made superintendent of the Friends' Hospital for the Insane at Frankford, Pennsylvania, in 1840.
In 1841 he published a series of articles in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences which was reprinted with the title A Visit to Thirteen Asylums for the Insane in Europe, and in the same year also published a volume, Marathon and Other Poems, contributed originally to various newspapers. Three years later he left Frankford to become superintendent of the Bloomingdale Asylum, New York City, and in 1848 published his History, Description and Statistics of the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane. He resigned his position in 1845 to make a second tour of Europe and in 1853 there appeared his Institutions for the Insane in Prussia, Austria and Germany.
On his return he settled in New York as a psychiatrist, was appointed visiting physician to the New York City Insane Asylum, Blackwell's Island, and lectured on mental diseases at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Owing to a breakdown in health, however, he retired from active practice in 1855 and for some years lived quietly at Leicester. After the outbreak of the Civil War he gave his services to the Government Hospital for the Insane at Washington, where insane soldiers were interned, and during 1863 also taught materia medica and therapeutics at the Berkshire Medical Institution.
In 1864 he was made superintendent of the State Lunatic Hospital, Northampton, Massachussets, where he remained until his death, although he resigned from active service in 1885. After this period he made, despite his age, a third journey to Europe in the interest of psychiatry. In addition to writings already enumerated he published the following small volumes: An Examination of the Practice of Bloodletting in Mental Disorders; The Curability of Insanity; and Popular Fallacies Concerning the Insane, as well as numerous minor contributions to periodical medical literature.
He was a co-founder of the American Medical Association and the American Medico-Psychological Association, of which he was president in 1884.
He was also the first president of the New York Psychological Association. A man of much originality and initiative, he led all his colleagues in familiarity with psychiatric institutions, and in the treatment of the insane he was ahead of his age. Incidentally, he delivered lecture courses on various subjects to his interned patients. Among the legal cases in which he was called upon for professional testimony was the trial of Guiteau for the assassination of President Garfield.
