    One of the latest communications that have come under my notice is a paper by Dr. Seguin, in which he gives a report of fifty cases of aphasia that have been observed at the New York Hospital. This essay con- tains much interesting matter, but the description of the cases is so meagre, as to render the collection con- paratively useless for statistical purposes.* Having in the preceding pages endeavoured to give a brief sketch of the labours of the principal authors in various parts of the world who have written on the subject of loss or impairment of the faculty of articulate language, I shall, in the next number, give the results of my own personal experience, as embodied in a series of important cases which have fallen under my own immediate observation. * American Quarterly Journal of Psychological Medicine, Jan., 1868.
