- 1818 Mar 6: Letter on "Religious Instruction to the Insane":
To the printer of the Nottingham Review.
Sir- It is the opinion of many medical practitioners, that much attention to religion is prejudicial to the bodies, as well as the minds of men, especially when labouring under disease; and I presume it is from this motive, that the visits of pious persons are so generally prohibited from the chambers of the sick. But, Sir, from many years' observation and attention to the subject, I am of opinion this idea is erroneous and false, and have ever observed, where the tranquillizing influence of religion has been possessed, there the power of medicine has had the most undisturbed effect and efficiency..." [Goes on to quote examples from this month's "Evangelical Magazine"]
