Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diseases of the Spinal Cord
The following account of diseases of the spinal cord is based on notes of lectures, which I have given at the Manchester Medical School during the last fifteen years. To these notes numerous additions have been made, and the lecture form has been altered.
The work is not intended to furnish an exhaustive account of spinal diseases but it is hoped that it may be of service as a text-book and as an introduction to the study of the subject.
The illustrations are (with one exception) from my own drawings and photographs, or from micro-photographs of my own sections. For Fig. 174 I am indebted to the kindness of Professor Homen, of Helsingfors.
Though I have tried to fairly acknowledge the work of previous writers, space limits only allow reference to the sources of a small pro portion of the statements made; and, therefore, it is necessary for me to mention how greatly I am indebted to the earlier works of the late Dr. James Ross, of Manchester, and to the text-books and writings of Sir Wm. Gowers and Dr. J. Taylor, and to the works of Professors Oppenheim, Strumpell, Schultze, Leyden and Goldscheider, Dejerine and Thomas, Marie, and Allen Starr.
