In going through this book one is struck

special quality which is not usually seen in t

textbooks. The scheme of the bo<?k is scientific com

prehensive and is indeed well designed an order. Endeavour has been made to worhuman details of the complicated anatomy of

fundamentals of the vertebral nervous sys '

Every part, has been discussed with the mi P

A practical utility of the book will be seen at the end in so fas as it has given the practical methods to be applied in the study of the more important parts of the central nervous system. The value of the book has been further enhanced by the introduction of a

series of clinical illustrations which'will be very profit- ably read by those who are engaged in the special study of nervous disorders. We have nothing but praise of the publisher's task

which has been done creditably throughout. M. N. D.
