EDWARD ARNOLD, 18 WARWICK SQUARE, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. FOOTNOTES: [1] See Hinton’s “Life in Nature.” [2] The form of neurasthenia which most frequently receives this label is cerebrasthenia with emotional symptoms. It often exists without myelasthenia or any kind of bodily exhaustion. [3] I have known the term “hysteria” applied to cases of well-marked brain disease, to cases of brain exhaustion from internal disease or disorder, to states of bodily weakness without disorder of the brain, to mere habitual eccentricity,--in fact, to anything and everything. [4] See Tyrrell’s “Tonic Treatment of Epilepsy.” [5] Motley’s “Rise of the Dutch Republic.” [6] The more highly developed the organism, the greater its sensitiveness. [7] By this I do not mean that higher perception of the similarity underlying all differences, which comes much later in life, when differences have been fully appreciated. [8] Not merely tendencies to actual suicide, but an inability to recognise true advantage. [9] We reason only from sensation. Knowledge is but “registered feeling.” [10] Professor Weismann draws attention to the fact, that the development of a faculty by the parent, on the most generally approved method, by no means ensures its transmission to the offspring.
