Winslow was a prolific writer on psychiatric topics, he published this work that was an endeavor to demonstrate that most suicides are not criminal, but are victims of mental disease. He was one of the pioneers of the humane system of treatment in insane asylums, and a prime mover in the establishment of the insanity plea in criminal defence. "He was regarded by the public as an authority in cases of insanity, and in 1847 opened two private lunatic asylums at Hammersmith, where he employed the humane method of treating lunatics which is now universal, but was then regarded as on its trial." - DNB. Norman, 2250. Seller Inventory # 39838
