    PREFACE. In these days of a voluminous scientific literature the appearance of every new manual demands some justifica- tion ; a genuine want can alone excuse additions to an already extensive series of handbooks of scientific methods of research. The omis prohandi of this want rests, of coiirse, with the author, and can in the present instance be readily met. Prompted by the editors of Brain, as well as by a personally-felt need for a concise svimmary of methods of examination of the nervous centres, the author contributed to the pages of that journal a series of articles on Methods of Preparing, Demonstrating, and Examining Cerebral Structure in Health and Disease. An appeal thus made to what was regarded as a gene- rally prevailing want amongst asylum medical officers and students, was met with signs of cordial approval, and the frequently expressed wish for the re-appearance of these articles in a separate and convenient form. Such expressions of approval form the author's justi- fication for this Manual of Methods. West Riding Asylum, April, 1882.
