Description: The first edition of this book in 1920 was an excellent text of neuro-anatomy. It has been continuously improved by conservative revision every fourth year since that time. It stands today as one of the best textbooks in the field of neuro-anatomy. The account of the structure of the nervous system has been blended with functional considerations in a skillful and concise way. For example, there is a chapter on clinical illustrations which, in the former edition, contained twelve well chosen cases to illustrate to the student the possible practical value of knowing neuro-anatomy.
