For those wishing to know: Dr. Matthew Allen (1783-1845) was a pioneer in 
mental health, advocating a much more humain treatment that what had gone 
before.  His is perhaps most famous for treating the poet John Clare. 
This book is really a collection of thoughts and writings, and also his 
defence in a court case.

All the best,
