I regard it as a singular honour and privilege to have been invited to deliver this lecture named in honour of Dr Henry Maudsley. His name is revered in medicine, not least because of his generosity in founding the Maudsley Hospital, famous throughout the world, but also because, as a former President of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association, he was active in that body out of which your distinguished college eventually evolved. The topic I have chosen is one which seems to me to be of great topical interest in an era both of increasing public scrutiny of medical practice and of the delivery of health care in a changing society. This scrutiny has brought advantages, but also substantial disadvantages to clinical medicine.

In Britain, over the last 20 years, grass has come to be grown as a crop, though not every acre is yet heavily fertilized. Currently, the permanent and ley grass acreage receives nearly half the country's annual tonnage of inorganic nutrients. Any step leading towards cheaper grass for grazing or conservation—alongside generous use of fertilizers—is bound to be welcome. Of topical interest are varieties able to make growth during winter.

The Way

The title “Operational Flying” gives considerable latitude, although a title such as “Naval Air Operations” would be more descriptive. I propose to spend rather less than half my time talking about operations with which I was personally connected. One reason for this is that my experience of firstline flying did not extend beyond the end of 1941 and therefore can hardly be considered to be of topical interest.After that I will say something on the subject of Naval air operations as a whole. I will also touch on such points as ship-based flying from the pilot's point of view; the way in which the carrier is fitted in as part of the fleet; the relative merits of ship– and shore-based aircraft in different circumstances; the so–called vulnerability of the carrier; and finally, a brief outline of the current types of aircraft in service and. of the capacity of a typical carrier from which they would operate.

Topical Interest

In choosing a historical subject, the easiest thing to do is to look for centenaries, and it so happens that the year 1859 was an eventful year in British psychiatry and is moreover a specially well-documented one, and further that the events and opinions thus documented seem to have a particularly topical interest for us today. In the first place, there was published in 1859 the book to which the title of this Address refers—On the State of Lunacy, by J. T. Arlidge, sometime Resident Physician to St. Luke's Hospital, a unique discussion of the problems of mental illness as they appeared to progressive specialists of the day. Secondly, an attempt to introduce fresh legislation led in February, 1859, to the appointment of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, which issued its report in the following year. Thirdly, the Annual Reports of the Commissioners in Lunacy for the years around 1859 are especially illuminating. In 1858 they sought to overcome the “dogged and passive resistance” of the parish authorities—of which more hereafter—by issuing a Supplement to their Report constituting a full and convincing indictment of the treatment of mental patients in workhouses and workhouse infirmaries; and their Report for 1859 contains an account of the London Licensed Houses. Again, it so happens that the Presidency of what is now the Royal Medico-Psychological Association, but then existed under a more humble name, was held in these years by four outstanding personalities—Forbes Winslow in 1857, followed by John Conolly, Sir Charles Hastings and Dr. (afterwards Sir John) Bucknill, all of whose inaugural Addresses reflect the ideals and practices, hopes and anxieties of their fellow-members. I should add here, but it would be beyond my sphere to refer to it any further, that following Dorothea Dix's visit to Scotland, and the institution of the Scottish Commissioners, the early Reports of that body give full descriptions of the state of affairs there, and of the rapid improvement brought about by Dr. W. A. F. Browne and his colleagues.
