Summary
BASKERVILLE ENTERED A COMPETITION for a premium (monetary prize) set by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (now the Royal Society of Arts) in 1759 for marbled paper. There were only two entrants, John Cross and John Baskerville. A committee was struck to evaluate the prizes. The committee first gave the prize to Cross, then, six weeks later, with a different membership, changed its mind and claimed that Baskerville deserved the premium. But when Baskerville's samples were presented to the larger Society, it decided that no prize would be awarded.
There are two considerations here: first, why the prize was significant, and second, why Baskerville's paper lost the prize in the end. The official notice in the list of premiums provides clues: ‘For marbling the greatest quantity, equal in goodness to the best marbled paper from abroad, not less than one ream; to be produced on [or] before the second Tuesday in February, 1760, £10’. The Society's very name indicates its purpose was to encourage art but in a commercial manner where possible. With neither government subsidies nor agencies to encourage domestic produc-tivity, the private efforts of the Society were an important incentive to British industry. England did not have a commercially viable decorated paper manufactory, but the Society saw an opportunity for one to replace foreign imports. Thus, their notion was quantity as an indication of possible commercial production rather than simply the work of a dilettante, bookbinder or boxmaker who occasionally made papers for a specific project. Presumably, the person who marbled the greatest number of sheets of paper would be the prize-winner so long as the design was ‘equal in goodness to the best marbled paper from abroad’. Probably the ‘goodness’ registered in the committee members’ minds as being essentially replicas of German, Dutch or French papers. The ‘best’ would be uniform for use in bookbinding or box lining, such that piecing papers for large work would be feasible without looking careless.
Although marbled papers are occasionally found in Western European bookbinding from the mid-fifteenth century, the use of marbled paper as an adornment in English bookbinding is rare before the third decade of the seventeenth century; even then it is largely found only as endpapers (sometimes just pastedowns) and almost invariably restricted to the higher-class grades of work.

Background: Efficacious smoking cessation interventions exist, yet few smokers utilise available resources such as psychosocial treatment programs and pharmacotherapy. The goals of the present study were to (1) identify perceived barriers to entering smoking cessation treatment programs among socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers, who are presently underrepresented in smoking cessation interventions; (2) determine what variables are most important in predicting the barriers identified (i.e., age, gender, ethnicity, income, nicotine dependence level, smoking rate, years smoking, stage of change, presence of smoking-related illness and medical insurance status). Methods: Responses from socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers (N = 343) were collected in 2004–2005 and analysed to develop the Treatment Barriers Questionnaire, a 40-item measure of reasons for not entering smoking cessation programs. Study methods were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Louisiana State University; informed consent procedures were employed. Results: Principal components analysis yielded seven scales named for their theme: (1) Preparedness to Quit Smoking; (2) Work and Time Constraints; (3) Smokers Can or Should Quit on Own; (4) Opinions about Professional Assistance; (5) Mobility Limitations; (6) Insurance Limitations and (7) Misinformation about Professional Assistance. Gender, ethnicity, daily smoking rate, nicotine dependence and stage of change were significant predictors in regression analyses for scales 1, F(10, 201) = 7.83, p < .001, R2 = .29, 2 F(10, 201) = 2.30, p < .05, R2 = .11, and 3, F(10, 201) = 3.58, p < .001, R2 = .16. Conclusions: Results can inform efforts to facilitate entry and retention of smokers in cessation programs.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to identify the characteristics of the patients who were commenced in a newly developed opiate substitute prescribing (OSP) programme, to determine their rate of retention and to ascertain the patients' opinions of the service. We also wished to determine rates of blood borne viruses in this population.
Methods: Data were collected from three sources: the Shaftesbury Square Hospital Substitute Prescribing Database, patient charts and an anonymous user views questionnaire. We also conducted viral screening. Inclusion criteria were opiate dependence according to ICD-101 for at least one year, in individuals who were 18 years of age or older. The sample comprised the first 80 patients who attended the service, who were followed up over two years.
Results: A total of 44% of our original cohort remained engaged with the service two years after commencement. Of the remainder, 18% engaged with OSP elsewhere and 13% completed a successful detoxification from all opiate drug use. Factors which were associated with continuation in the programme were prescription of methadone (as compared with buprenorphine), female sex and higher doses of OSP. Patients reported high levels of satisfaction with the service. Of those who were tested for blood borne viruses, more than half were positive for hepatitis C infection.
Conclusions: The response to the development of the opiate substitution programme demonstrated that there was a need in the community which had not been met in the past. Service users who attended the programme reported high levels of satisfaction.

We examined the extent of alcohol misuse among final year medical students and explored their attitudes to their drinking and the drinking of others in order to gain insight into why junior doctors frequently fail to identify alcohol misusers. The questionnaire included AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Investigation Test), personal details and an attitudinal component. Response rate was 92%. Forty-six students (37.8%) scored as alcohol misusers. Teetotallers had a more judgmental attitude towards ‘alcoholism’. Extremes of drinking behaviour among students may affect later patient care.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of alcohol dependence syndrome in a rural General Hospital. Method: The entire inpatient population of 107 patients was administered the CAGE questionnaire to detect alcohol dependency. Patients scoring two or more (maximum score 4) were diagnosed alcohol dependent. Results: Sixteen patients were unable to complete the questionnaire due to severity of illness or dementia. Of the 91 patients who completed the CAGE questionnaire, 20 scored one or more, and 12 scored two or more, giving a prevalence of probable alcohol dependency in this population of 13%. There were significantly more male alcohol dependent patients than female, 30% vs 2% (p<0.001). Fifty percent of the patients who scored on the CAGE as alcohol dependent were not recognised by medical staff as being problem drinkers. All of the alcohol dependent patients came from the medical and surgical units including Ear, Nose and Throat surgical unit (ENT). Conclusion: Administration of the CAGE questionnaire to all medical and surgical admissions seems to be one of the most economical way of detecting alcohol dependency and engaging patients in treatment as early as possible.

Objective: To determine the level of engagement as defined by return for out-patient appointment in patients referred for alcohol counselling in a general hospital. Method: The hospital was offered a service with counselling within 24 hours for patients who were identified by ward staff as having alcohol related problems. Referred patients were interviewed on the ward by a nurse who specialised in alcohol counselling. Follow-up appointments were offered. Results: 60% of those given counselling returned for further counselling as out-patients. 83% of women counselled were engaged compared with 42% of men (p<0.05). The mean SADD (a measure of alcohol dependency) score was 23.9 in those subjects who were engaged and 18.6 in those not engaged (p<0.05), indicating greater dependency in the former group. Conclusions: Although these patients had not actively sought help with their drinking 60% returned for counselling as out-patients. Women and those with high levels of alcohol dependency were more likely to seek further counselling.

One hundred and twenty-seven white male alcoholics, treated in a rural setting, were assigned to one of two groups. Seventy-three subjects received intensive aftercare by Community Psychiatric nurse and fifty-four control subjects received standard aftercare with outpatient appointments. Subjects were assessed one year after treatment. Fifty-four per cent of those given Community Psychiatric Nurse follow-up were completely abstinent compared with twenty per cent of those in the control group. Those receiving Community Psychiatric Nurse follow-up were less likely to have blackouts, hospital admissions or marital discord in the year following treatment. They were more likely to attend hospital meetings regularly. This form of aftercare is an effective way of maximising the benefits of expensive inpatient treatment.

Sexual anxiety was examined in 98 patients presenting with sexual dysfunction and 68 of their partners at a psychosexual clinic using the SOMA questionnaire. All patients had raised values for heterosexual anxiety. Female partners had raised values while male partners did not. This provides further evidence for the role of heterosexual anxiety in the aetiology and treatment of sexual dysfunction.

SOMA, a questionnaire designed by J. T. Quinn to measure sexual anxiety in patients presenting at a psychosexual clinic, has been used extensively as a clinical and research tool. Its construction and scoring are described, and data are presented for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, principal components analysis, and validity. Practical applications for diagnosis, prognosis, and research are discussed.
