SUMMARY
Abstract
We stated on page 359 that the Medical Faculty of Harvard University have the credit of being the first in this country to make mental disease a part of the course of study. We were not aware at the time we made this statement, that Dr. Macdonald, about the year 1840, delivered a course of lectures on Insanity in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of New York city, and that in 1853 Dr. Pliny Earle delivered a course in the same place. We are happy to make this correction in justice to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, an institution which has always been foremost in whatever pertains to medical progress and efficiency.
