In the last number of this JOURNAL, I gave reasons for concluding that the table of forms of insanity, suggested by the Statistical Committee, was unsatisfactory, and suggested a new classification of cases of insanity to be substituted for their arrangement. Certain objections that are likely to be taken to the classification that I have proposed are worth considering, and would have prolonged the previous communication to an unwieldy length if embodied therein; I propose, therefore, to consider them now.
