Notes
Abercrombie (1780-1844), physician, was educated at Marischal College Aberdeen, and studied medicine at Edinburgh. Abercrombie's knowledge of nervous diseases led him to an interest in mental problems and.. 'in 1830 he first published this work. It was extremely popular and a number of editions appeared. The causes of this popularity were, no doubt, partly the numerous cases set forth of peculiar mental phenomena, whose detailed record made a dry subject easy and entertaining reading ' D.N.B.
