A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Since the fourth edition of this work was published, three years agi, the European War has happily come to an end. Medical workers, like those in other branches of science, can now again devote their energies to peaceful research, instead of repairing sick and wounded combatants, only to fit them to fling themselves afresh into the murderous arena. But even during the recent war neurology has not ceased to advanc:-. Numerous new and important facts have been learned with reference to war injuries and diseases, whilst fresh problems have also arisen in civilian neurology, many of them yet unsolved. The present edition has been revised and in part rewritten. A short chapter upon war neuroses, regarded from the clinical standpoint, has been added, but without attempting to discuss the various metaphysical theories, more or less abstruse, propounded to explain them by eminent psychologists of dif Eerent schools. Contemporaneously with the publication of the present volume, a Spanish edition of the work is being published in Barcelona. From the kindly reception accorded to former editions of this work, it is not unreasonable to infer that it has probably been found of some practical use. Nevertheless, the person who learns most from such a book is not the reader, but the writer himself. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to the many co-workers whose observations have been incorporated in the present edition and have helped to remedy some of its deficiencies. I have also to thank my colleague Dr. Hildred Carlill for his kin Jhelp in correcting the proof-sheets as they passed through the press. Fig. 6S, p. 135, is borrowed, by kind permission of the author, from Professor Judson Herrick s Introduction to Neurology. JAMES PURVES STEWART. 94, Harley Street, London, W. 1. December,
