Excerpt from Lectures on Localization in Diseases of the Brain: Delivered at the Faculté De Médecine, Paris, 1875 The exposition of the principles underlying the doctrine of cerebral localization seems to have now become a necessary chapter of introduction to the practical study of diseases of the brain. In the Lectures which Dr. Fowler has kindly taken the pains to submit to the appreciation of our American confrères I have selected, as occasion required, information furnished by normal anatomy, experimental physiology, and clinical observation, illustrated by minute and methodical examination of organic lesions. I have always given precedence, however, to the last-mentioned order of testimony, convinced that, although normal anatomy and experimental physiology may serve to indicate the true direction, still, clinical and pathological research is necessary (in case of the human subject) to a final judgment and to the furnishing of proof. I shall consider it as a great honor if my book should be favorably received in a country where instructors in neural pathology are represented by scientists such as my friend W. Mitchell, and various others whom I might enumerate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
