    PEEFACE. Many readers of my Diagnosis of Diseases of the Spinal Cord have asked me for a book, similar in scope and method, dealing with the symptoms and methods of diagnosis of Diseases of the Brain. In response to that request, I publish these Lectures, delivered at University College Hospital. I have left the Lectures very much in the form in which they were delivered, believing that thus they will be most useful. The account of the diagnosis of the nature of the lesion, contained in the concluding Lectures, is intended rather to impress on the student the methods of diagnosis and the most important distinctions between the various diseases, than to furnish an exhaustive description of these distinctions. At the same time, I believe that those given will enable a diagnosis to be made in the majority of the cases that the student or practitioner is likely to encounter. Queen Anne Street, London, June, 1885.
