Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compendium of Regional Diagnosis in Affections of the Brain and Spinal Cord, Vol. 8: A Concise Introduction to the Principles of Clinical Localization in Diseases and Injuries of the Central Nervous System I Cannot, I think, better express thanks for the friendly reception accorded by expert critics to the first edition of my Compendium than by following out, so far as possible, the suggestions for the improvement of the work which have been brought to my notice. Some of my reviewers have urged an enlargement of the general plan and scope of the book as laid down in the preface to the first edition. To this I have been unable to agree, since the practical utility of the book to practitioners who are not neurologists must thereby have been diminished. Though so short a time has elapsed since the appearance of the first edition, a considerable number of emendations and additions have proved to be necessary; apart from my own numerous observations, a large number of new works dealing with the subject have appeared to which it has been necessary to give careful attention. The section dealing with the brain, for instance, has required considerable modification (localization of motor cortical areas, tumours of the cerebello - pontine angle, aphasia, apraxia, hypophysis, epiphysis, Rontgen-ray diagnosis, etc.). I have been enabled by the co-operation of my publishers not only to add some new figures, but also to substitute improved illustrations for some of those appearing in the former edition.
