Excerpt from A Textbook of Nervous Diseases: For Students and Practicing Physicians, In Thirty Lectures When it was suggested by my publishers that I should write a text-book of nervous diseases adapted to the needs of students and practical physicians, in size between the summary compendiums and outlines and the large refer ence works and handbooks of neurology, I found upon inquiry among my colleagues so general an agreement that such a book was desirable, that I no longer hesitated to undertake its preparation. When I decided to present my material in the form of lectures, it was because of the recollection that in my student days, the reading of text-books in lecture form was to my fellow stu dents and myself like an oasis in the midst of the tiresome work of preparing for examinations. On the other hand, I did not conceal from myself that the systematic arrangement of the material, as compared to its presentation in lectures, had in general the advantage of greater clearness and better adapta tion for quick reference. On this account I have endeavored to combine the advantages of both methods of arrangement, by the introduction of titles, sum maries in tabular form, and recapitulatory headings. I have also laid great stress upon a complete index. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
