Excerpt from Insanity of King George III: Read Before the Association of Superintendents of Insane Hospitals, May 22, 1855
To the mere pathologist, the insanity of a prince is not more inter esting than that of a peasant; but to'the historian, to the medical jurist, to all who are engaged in the care of the insane, the attacks of George III. Are invested with peculiar interest. He was a prominent figure in a period that teemed with great men and great events, whose memori als are yet around us; and twice the recurrence of his disorder gave rise to a degree of political feeling that has seldom been equalled, and to political discussions that settled forever a vital principle in the British constitution.
