Haslam, J.  Illustrations of Madness (1810).

The first medical book devoted to a single case of insanity, and the first illustration of an influencing machine, commonly complained of by paranoid patients.  The subject of the book is James Tilly Matthews, a patient at Bethlehem Hospital.  Haslam (1764-1844) served for many years as apothecary at Bethlehem, where he obtained a great deal of knowledge about diseases of the brain.  Eventually he became a licensed physician in London, developing a reputation through his scientific publications and his prudent treatment of the mentally ill.
