Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System For much of the new matter I am indebted to Dr. Labadie Lagrave, the accomplished editor and translator of the French edi tion of this work, published in Paris in 1879. The chapters on nervous syphilis, on the symptomatology of cerebral lesions, and on the pathology of the sympathetic nerve, are, except as regards the matter included within brackets, literal translations of his articles on these subjects. I have omitted from this edition the chapters on insanity, and this mainly for the reason that I am now engaged in the prepara tion of a special treatise on that important subject, in which the physiology and pathology of the mind will receive much fuller con sideration than could be given in a book combining the whole subject of neurological medicine. Notwithstanding this omission, the present edition contains about forty more pages than the last. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
