    ADVERTISEMENT. The contents of the following pages were read, in May last, before the Medical Society of London, and subsequently to the Bath and Bristol Medical and Surgical Association. The “ paper ” is a mere abstract of a series of articles, entitled “ The Physiology and Pathology of the Ganglionic Ner¬ vous System,” which were commenced in the columns of the “Lancet” for 1849 and 1850; but, for certain reasons, were never completed in that periodical. However, the whole of that published (in the “ Lancet”) was deemed of sufficient value by the Editor of “ Braithwaite’s Retrospect of Medicine” (see vol. xxii.), to justify him not only in appropriating so many as sixteen of his closely printed octavo pages to its re-appearance, but he (Braithwaite), moreover, considered the same as a “desideratum” and uwell worthy”—“from its novelty and originality”—u of attentive perusal.” The attention which the late notice of the “ paper” in the “Lancet” and “ Pro¬ vincial Association Journal” excited, has been one of the causes of its publication in this present form. Northicoods, Bristol, 1853. J. G. H.
