Excerpt from Lectures on the Diseases of the Nervous System: Delivered at La Salpètrière Although but recently published in Paris, the Lec tures of Professor Charcot on Diseases of the Nervous System have already taken a place amongst the classic works of medical literature, and been translated into several Continental languages. When preparing for the following version, it was judged best to await the appearance of the second French edition; thus the reader, in exchange for some delay, has been enabled to obtain the work in its most correct form, enlarged by about one-sixth. It was found inconvenient to repro duce the ten plates appended to the French volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
