Excerpt from Syphilis and the Nervous System: Being a Revised Reprint of the Lettsomian Lectures for 1890 Delivered Before the Medical Society of London

These lectures, delivered three years ago, are now reprinted on account of the frequency with which I find it necessary to refer to statements made in them, and the inconvenience of being obliged to refer a reader to the Medical Journals in which the lectures originally appeared. Two translated reprints have been published, and this renders their reproduction in the English language the more desirable. Moreover,/i have taken the opportunity of carefully revising them, and have made a large number of additions. These, althoughnot obtrusive or extensive, will, I hope, be found to increase the practical value of What is said, and may serve to bring the lectures up to the level of our present knowledge if they are below this in their original form. At the same time, their scope and char acter make the need for such additions insignificant. Their chief object is to enable those who read them to grasp more firmly the cases they meet with, and to understand better the methods of dealing with the disease In practical thought and actual work.
