This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

In 18th-century Britain, the medical profession began to pay attention to the minor psychiatric disturbances of educated and polite society. Rather as neurosis became fashionable in fin-de-siecle Vienna, "nerves" became a highly eligible illness in early Georgian London and Bath. What Freud was for Vienna, George Cheyne was for 18th-century fashionable ailments. He above all was responsible for developing and popularizing the notion that abnormalities of mood and thought were due - not as traditionally thought to diabolical forces or the "humours" - but to physiological defects of the nervous system. To explain how the nervous system collapsed, Cheyne spelt out a critique of modern, high pressure urban society which in many ways prefigured Rousseau and also Freud's "Civilisation and its Discontents". Although an important figure, Cheyne has been little studied. No scholarly reprint exists of his major thematic work, "The English Malady". This edition, prefaced by a substantial introduction by Roy Porter, aims to contextualize the work in respect of 18th-century medicine, culture and society.
