Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Railway Injuries: With Special Reference to Those of the Back and Nervous System, in Their Medico-Legal and Clinical Aspects
The book makes no pretension to be a text-book of nervous diseases. It is simply one chapter in their history; and if for convenience' sake it is itself divided into chapters, it is as one chapter on the subject of which it treats that it must be read. The various parts of it are meant to hold together, and if the statements made are not every one of them supported by the published record of individual cases, none the less are they founded on actual experience and observation. I have throughout endeavoured fairly and evenly to hold the balance, bearing in mind that no work upon such a subject can be, as I am desirous this should be, of use to others, unless it is conceived in a judicial spirit, and is free from partiality and bias.
In conclusion, I have to express my thanks to my friend Mr. Thorburn for many valuable suggestions.
