"The relation between modern civilized life and insanity cannot be regarded as
finally determined while a marked difference of opinion exists in regard to it
among those who have studied the subject; nor can this difference be wondered
at by anyone who has examined the data upon which a conclusion must be formed,
and has found how difficult it is to decide in which direction some of the
evidence points. Statistics alone may prove utterly fallacious. Mere
speculation, on the other hand, is useless, and indeed is only misleading. It
is a matter on which it is tempting to write dogmatically, but where the
honest inquirer is quickly pulled up by the hard facts that force themselves
on his attention. Nothing easier than to indulge in unqualified denunciations
of modern society; nothing more difficult than a cautious attempt to connect
the social evils of the present day with the statistics of lunacy. Nothing
easier than to make sweeping statements without proof, nothing more difficult
than to apportion the mental injury respectively caused by opposite modes of
life; totally diverse social states of a nation often leading to the same
termination: insanity..."
