This 1869 biography of John Conolly (1794–1866), a pioneer in the humane treatment of the mentally ill, seeks to garner further institutional and international support for reform. Advocating the use of moral suasion and discipline over physical restraint, Conolly's work was initially controversial but eventually accepted and applauded.
