Abstract
THE authors' purpose is to persuade fundamental principles to emerge from a wealth of detail concerning the important neurological contributions of recent years, and they “can confidently assert that the book contains matter of direct concern to the student of medicine, physiology, therapeutics, pathology and (indirectly) psychology”. Chief among the authors' intentions is that all the subjects treated should have a clinical bearing; “in other words, that the book should be an auxiliary text-book of applied neurology”. It may, of course, be that advances in applied neurology bear more eloquent testimony to the state of the parent science than could any book; but it is doubtful whether “the qualified student of medicine reading for higher examinations” and the seeker after fundamental principles can be satisfied at one and the same time.
