    WORKS PUBLISHED BY SITH, ELDER, & CO. Demy 8vo. with numerous Illustrations, 16s. THE FUNCTIONS OF THE BEAIN. By DAVID FEERIER, M.D, F.R.S. Assistant Physician to King's College Hospital ; Professor of Forensic Medicine, King's College. ' This is in many respects an important work, full of experimental facts and theoretical sug- gestions, clearly ■end forcibly written. ... It m]l long remain a storehouse to which all students must go for material.'—Q. H. Lbwtes, in Nature. > ' The turbid chaos of facts in which the laws of the functions of the encephalon have so long lain dissolved seems at last to be clearing itself up by depositing something like an orderly pre- cipitate of doctrine. Dr. Ferrier's work may be regarded as the first successful attempt to collect and exhibit this doctrine in its fuU generality— in other words, we may regard it as marking the end of an old era, and the beginning of a new one in cerebral physiology.'—BOSTON Mkdical ^XD Surgical Jodrxal. ' We welcome this work as a very important and valuable contribution to an obscure and difBoult department of physiological inquiry. It is indeed, as the Germans phrase it, an epoch- maldng or path-breaking treatise.' Lancet. ' It is a book deserving of the most careful and attentive study.'—London Medical Record. ' The work must be studied by all who claim to be well informed in their profession. Though the subject is one of great intricacy, the author has dealt with it in such a manner that it is com- petent for any highly educated non-medical reader to be gradually led on to the most pro- found questions in cerebral physiology.' Medical Examiner. Post 8vo. 4s. 6d. ON THE CONVOLUTIONS OF THE HUMAN BEAIN. By DR. ALEXANDER ECKER, Professor of Anatomy and Comparative Anatomy in the University of Freiburg, Baden.
