Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In the study of genius and insanity we shall endeavour to follow the empirical rather than the polemical method. This will require the statement of many facts, gathered from different sources, but principally from the instructive works, “L'Homme de Génie,” by Cesare Lombroso, and “Psychologie Morbide,” by Moreau (de Tours).
