Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System: Delivered at Guy's Hospital
IN presenting this work to my readers, I may fairly be expected to preface it with a few words of explanation. In the year 1868 a part of my course on Medicine delivered at Guy's Hospital relating to nervous diseases was published in a periodical form. Ever since that time the lectures have been frequently perused by my pupils, who have constantly demanded of me their reprint in a separate form. To this appeal, so often made, I now respond in the present volume. It contains my original lectures with the additional matter which a subsequent ten years has enabled me to accumulate. Much of this has already appeared in the Guy's Hospital Reports,' but its repetition in this volume was inevitable, since it is evident that the cases which have been thought of sum cient importance to publish separately would necessarily be the most valuable ones with which to illustrate my lectures.
The order of the subjects which I have found useful for lecture cannot be justified on scientific grounds, but I may console myself with the conviction that with our present existing nomenclature it is impossible to frame a systematic view of nervous diseases on any rational basis whatever, be it anatomical, pathological, or clinical. I have therefore endeavoured to make the best of a heterogeneous system.
