The first 530 Pages of the Second Volume would, if printed separately, form perhaps the best text-book in our language for the student of Neurology and Insanity. A masterly and philosophical review, characterised by the precision of the specialist, and the breadth of the catholic physician, is present©.I in these pages of the varied phenomena connected with morbid conditions of the nervous system in their relations to anatomical structure, chemical composition, physiological uses, an 1 pathological changes. ...

There is, perhaps, no work more indispensable for the Practitioner and Student.”—Edm.
