A useful little book dealing with a most difficult subject. The author considers the relation of accident to general paralysis of the insane, tumours and abscesses of the brain, tabes dorsalis, disseminated sclerosis and syringomyelia. He also deals with the effect of injury in progressive muscular atrophy, paralysis agitans, exophthalmic goitre and epilepsy. This work should be consulted by all who are about to give an opinion on the legal aspects of an accident in these diseases.
This well-known work has been greatly improved by a large number of additions and is completely up to date. It remains the best general text-book in any language on account of the fulness with which the literature is cited. This edition should find a place on the shelves of all neurologists.
This book is the outcome of four articles contributed to the Journal of Mental Science and of evidence given before the Royal Commission on the "Care and Control of the Feeble-minded." The nature, prevalence, and causes of recurrent crime are dealt with, and a chapter is devoted to the legal attitude towards the problem.
An attempt to correlate the results of microscopical anatomy, with physiological and psychological facts. The first half of the book deals with the general physiology of the nervous system; the second half is devoted to psychology. As he has made no researches of his own the author is dependent entirely upon the work of others, and his philosophic views are coloured by the selection he has made amongst well-known but incompatible theories.
