During some recent research for a project in the history of psychiatry, I had the opportunity of studying the first hundred years' Annual Reports of Glasgow's Gartnavel Royal Mental Hospital dating from 1814. I was struck at how applicable some of the comments were in modern psychiatry and was interested in some of the phraseology used and ideas expressed. Some were quaint, some entertaining and surprisingly few abstruse.
