    LEEDS AWEST-RIDtNC HEDICO-CHfRURClCAL SOCIETY PEEFACE. My original intention was merely to publish examples of the cases upon which was founded my article in the Journal of Mental Science for April, 1878. It then seemed to be desirable to preface these by a brief description of general paralysis. But in the course of transcribing from the first rough sketch it was found that the work would far overpass the limits intended, and, in order to curtail it, the very numerous references in the seventh and succeeding chapters were omitted ; as also those in the third chapter, which had not been inserted at the moment of trans- cription. Also, a number of the illustrative cases, at the end of the volume, were omitted, and the rest were very much abbre- viated. Yet it is hoped that those retained are sufficient in number and in detail to give some idea of the material upon which was based my description of the several varieties of general paralysis of the insane in the article above referred to. This work was written in 1878, but other engagements inter- vened and prevented the completion of the final MS. I have, therefore, added references to a few more recent papers, and to Voisiu's systematic treatise on the subject; all of which have appeared in the earher parts of 1879. W. J. M.
