† I will only observe (touching upon the comparative rarity of these so-called blood-cysts in the arachnoid cavity) that whilst Dr. Joire, who has had much experience as an alienist physician, has collected 29 cases in which intra-cranial hemorrhage external to the serous cavity existed; he has only encountered 12 in which the hemorrhage has taken place into what he terms the intra-arachnoïd sac. I must remark that he recognises, as docs Calmeil, haemorrhage between the dura mater and the parietal layer of arachnoid.Google Scholar

∗ “Mr. G.'s case at the time I saw it presented an extremely well-marked specimen of the expansive variety of general paralytic insanity in its second stage. My interview was a short one, bat I recollect that he was unsteady on his feet, and his speech extremely inarticulate. His delusions were characteristic. In his délire ambitieux he told me that he was a baronet; that he was going to marry the Princess of Denmark and all the other Princesses; that he could buy all Bond Street as well as Hanover Square; that he had raised Bond Street a story higher by means of mesmerism; that he was going to give his medical attendant £1000, and any amount to me. The case was so clearly one of general paralysis that I was enabled to sign a certificate without hesitation. I expressed an opinion that it would run a very rapid course. (Signed) G. F.
