Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Spinal Cord
The lectures published in this book were taken from those delivered at the Faculty of Medicine in the summer of 1891. Although but little altered, some works which appeared during the course of their publication were of such great importance that it seemed unwise to neglect them, and they were consequently utilized by me.
I have advisedly given the name of Lectures to this publi cation, more freedom of speech being thus allowed, while it may constantly be recognized during its perusal that the book is specially written for the purpose of teaching.
Since some diseases only of the spinal cord are described in this book, I have endeavoured to discuss these as completely as possible. Numerous works have been consulted upon this branch of nervous pathology, care being taken to name their authors, although it did not accord with the plan of this publi cation to indicate the name of every book to which allusion is made. Those mentioned have been somewhat arbitrarily chosen, their importance, their novelty, and the difficulty in obtaining them being specially considered.
