Additional Details

Jules Gabriel François Baillarger (1809-1890) was a seminal figure in French psychiatry and neurology. José Joaquin Muñoz was a young Cuban who studied under Baillarger in France and returned to establish the first psychiatric hospital in Cuba. He translated these lectures into Spanish; this is apparently their only collected appearance in book form, in any language. Included are chapters on hallucinations, monomania, melancholy, paralytic dementia, and more. None traced at auction.
