¶John Conolly, 1794-1866, was a pioneering psychiatrist or 'psychological physician', best remembered now for popularising the practice of non-restraint among patients in British asylums. Along with Sir Charles Hastings and Sir John Forbes, he was a founding member of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, which would eventually evolve into the British Medical Association; he also founded the British and Foreign Medical Review, or, A Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine with Forbes. This volume was written by Conolly's friend Sir James Clark, Queen Victoria's Physician-in-Ordinary, and is considered the first memoir of a psychologist.
