About Richard Maurice Bucke
Richard Maurice Bucke (18 March 1837 – 19 February 1902), often called Maurice Bucke, was an important Canadian progressive psychiatrist in the late nineteenth century. An adventurer in his youth, he went on to study medicine, practice psychiatry, and befriend several noted men of letters. In addition to writing and delivering professional papers, Bucke wrote three book-length studies: Man's Moral Nature, Walt Whitman, and his most famous work Cosmic Consciousness, a classic in the modern study of mystical experience.

These divisions can never be absolute; the whole is too truly one whole for that, but they are sufficiently real for our present purpose.
