    BY THE SAME AUTHOR. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE MIND UPON THE BODY. Designed to Elucidate the Action of the Imagination. 8vo. 14J. “ To Dr. Tuke belongs the merit of having attempted not merely to adapt his speculations to scientific inquiries, but to confine them within the regular and rigid limits of professional and philosophical investigations . . . When studied as a philosophical disquisition ought to be, and where the physiological and psychological expositions are applied to the pathological changes, the Author’s labours assume a comprehensive character which is worthy of much praise, even when perfect concurrence m his conclusions may be withheld ... We have examined this volume rigidly and care- fully, because we regard it as a valuable contribution to medical literature, as the first scientific attempt to systematise and elucidate the vast number of facts and narratives connected with the interdependence of Mind and Body, accumulated during long periods of observation, or scattered through various and dissimilar treasure-houses; and because the efforts to make clear what has hitherto been obscure, and to reduce within the confines of Philosophy what has hitherto been mainly left within the domain of crude and vulgar speculation, are, in every instance, painstaking, honest, and supported by the testimony of others, even when they are not satisfactory or successful.”-^arid For. Medico-Chirurgical Review. Joint Author with Dr Bucknill. A MANUAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE. 3rd Edition. 8vo. 25^. “ We regard this Treatise on Psychological Medicine as by far the most complete in the English language. ”—Brit, and For.
