Excerpt from On the Progress of Neurology

The earliest workers occupied themselves mainly with de scribing the gross form relations of the central and peripheral nervous systems as revealed on Simple exposure by removal of the bony and membranous coverings or by cutting into the or gans. The shape of the principal masses and cavities, the existence of white and grey substance, the distinction of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems and certain gross pathological alterations were early known and described. Coincident with the increased study of human material and greater skill in the use of the scalpel the descriptions become gradually more accurate until in the records left behind them by such men as Sylvius, Vesalius, Monro, Sir Charles Bell, Lockhart Clarke, Reil, Rolando, Burdach and Stilling, we can not but marvel at the accuracy of observation and the faithful ness of portrayal which they manifested.
