| | The Final Struggle and Victory of Science. - Pinel and Tuke. |
 | | So, too, in the main, were their methods; and in the little house of William Tuke, at York, began a better era for England. |
 | | But Gardner at Lincoln, Donnelly at Hanwell, and a new school of practitioners in mental disease, took up the work of Tuke, and the victory in England was gained in practice as it had been previously gained in theory. |
 | | The French Revolution, indeed, saved Pinel, and the decay of English ecclesiasticism gave Tuke his opportunity; but their triumphs are none the less among the glories of our race; for they were the first acknowledged victors in a struggle of science for humanity which had lasted nearly two thousand years. |
