"This is a book which will interest all neurologists, and reflects great credit on its author, for the research and care, as well as fairness of the discussion, which is raised between the several schools of thought. "That part of the work most interesting to us is the chapter on the Medical Jurisprudence of Aphasia, the hints on criminal Anthropology, the Chemistry of the Brain, and the question of Localisation of the Faculty of Speech. "The work on the whole is a very valuable contribution to the literature of Aphasia, and will be welcomed by all Neurologists." From the _Alienist and Neurologist_. "This is a valuable contribution to the history and literature of the subject, a subject not yet too old to have lost its interest to either professional or lay reader. "No library of the literature of Aphasia, however, would be complete without this book. The author is elaborate without complexity." _London: Jarrold and Sons, 10 and 11, Warwick Lane, E.C._ * * * * * Transcriber's Notes Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired.
