Reprinted from the British Medical Journal (this is printed on the verso of the title page). "As well as his experimental results, Ferrier's book (1890) [offered here] included descriptions of [J. Hughlings] Jackson's clinical cases. Thus Ferrier was among the first to apply his experimental principles to observations in man. He was indeed the link between Jackson and the modern work on the cerebral cortex of Sherrington and others" (Garrison's History of Neurology). "A later and detailed review of his results, and of those who followed him, appeared in his Croonian Lectures of June 1890 (The Croonian Lectures on Cerebral Localisation, London, 1890)" (Clarke & O'Malley, Human Brain and Spinal Cord, p. 514) [offered here].
