Abstract
THIS is an excellent work consisting of fifteen lectures on the various parts of the central nervous system. Dr. Edinger has a very pleasant way of introducing information concerning the functions of the nervous structures as he describes them, a feature which makes his works much more readable than those which give merely geographical descriptions of the parts under consideration. Another feature of the present work is that it keeps the reader constantly informed respecting the comparative anatomy and evolutionary antiquity of the particular structure he is studying.
