In this extraordinary book the author has penned for the reader whose interests lead him into the curious by-paths of life a most energetic picture of Hasheesh, "the wining rival of opium as a producer of visions of paradise." Indeed, upon its first appearance in a limited ad privately printed edition, An Essay on Hasheesh evoked some notes of warning. "If there is any caution to go with this monograph, it should be to keep it out of the hands of the neurotics," said one reviewer. "We hope," wrote another, "that Victor Robinson's delightful description will not unduly popularize the use of this drug." The unstinted praise of critics throughout the English-speaking world established the fame of the Essay and created a persistent demand which is now being met by a new and unlimited edition. Dr. Robinson's foreword will assure you that this edition is a word-for-word reproduction of the earlier private issue.

(Excerpt from The Life of Jacob Henle If ever I had an in...)
Excerpt from The Life of Jacob Henle If ever I had an inspiration, it was on the day when I first spoke to you about Jacob Henle. I explained that although he was one of the greatest medical scientists of modern times, practically nothing about his career had appeared in the English language. Not being a medical woman, you had never heard of Henle, and were naturally and properly bored. But since it is impossible for you to be unsympathetic, the sub ject was again broached, and somehow we decided to do Henle - as an experiment. Your share of the work was to consist in translating all the available German data, after which I was to use your translations as a basis for my own work. The first article you undertook happened to be desultory and tedi ous, and after being engulfed in its discursiveness and battling with its technicalities, you would have abandoned your self-appointed task, but for two reasons; in the first place, you were probably curious to see what I could accomplish with such unpromising material; and in the second place, you are no shirker. So the work went on, and you trans lated the notices by Leyden, Flemming, and Pagel, the essay by Wal deyer, and Kussmaul's witty chapter in his Memoirs from the Youth of an Old Physician. By this time, the greatness of the man had grown upon us, and the experimental stage was over. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
