Extract

I should like to express my deep gratitude to you, Mr. President, to the immediate Past President, Dr. L. C. Cook and to the Association for the great honour that has been bestowed upon me by your invitation to deliver a lecture in this august series. It is a custom that the lecturer should pay homage to Henry Maudsley to whose memory these lectures are dedicated: may I reserve my homage until we come to the active part Maudsley played in the course of events with which this lecture will be concerned.
