Remarks on insanity: its nature and treatment / by Henry Monro.
Remarks on insanity: its nature and treatment is an 1851 London medical treatise by the physician Henry Monro, published by John Churchill and held in the Royal College of Physicians library. The two pictures are a bookplate and a printer's device: the first shows a caduceus of two entwined snakes and wings beneath the motto MEDICINA LITERIS, the second a heraldic cartouche with a crowned figure, open books and Greek lettering. A designer could take the symmetrical, emblem-like arrangement of snakes, wings and banners as a model for medical or institutional crests.
