Bibliomania; or Book-Madness

In laying before the public the following brief and superficial account of a disease, which, till it arrested the attention of Dr. Ferriar, had entirely escaped the sagacity of all ancient and modern physicians, it has been my object to touch chiefly on its leading characteristics; and to present the reader with an "honest pennyworth" of information, which may, in the end, either suppress or soften the ravages of so destructive a malady.
