The first lectures in Britain on mental illness were begun by Sir Alexander Morison on November 21. Morison delivered a series of nine lectures to an audience of six people at Edinburgh and based his lectures on several visits to Jean Esquirol in Paris. Morison became physician to Bethlehem Hospital in 1835 and remained there until 1853. His lecture series was delivered in Edinburgh, and later in London, for 30 years.
