    Parts of this book, that is to say, Chapter I on Concus- sion of the Spinal Cord ; Chapter II on “ Concussion of the Spine”; Chapter III on the Common Spinal Injuries of Railway Collisions, and much also of Chapter VIII, formed the dissertation upon “ Injuries of the Back, with- out apparent Mechanical Lesion, in their Surgical and Medico-Legal Aspects,” to which in 1881 was awarded the Boylston Medical Prize of Harvard University, U.S. By an order of the Boylston Committee of 1826 it is requisite to print here the following votes : 1st. “ That the Board do not consider themselves as approving the doctiines contained in any of the dissertations to which premiums may be adjudged.” 2ndly. “ That in case of publication of a successful disserta- tion the author be considered as bound to print the above vote in connection therewith.” I am greatly indebted to my friends Dr H. B. Donkin and Dr John Macdougall, of Carlisle, for many valuable suggestions, and for mucb help given me in the prepara- tion of this work ; but not less sincerely must I thank those, too numerous to be named, who have by kindly interest and inquiry enabled me to compile the Appendix of Cases, and without whose help that Appendix must have been imperfect and almost valueless. 146, Harley Street.
