Ecker's is the great work on the subject.
A widely influential contribution to gyral anatomy. Ecker, a Basel neurologist, identified and named many gyri and sulci. Facsimile reprint of the Appleton 1873 first edition in English.
Cordasco 90-2014; Haymaker Founders, pp. 111-116; Courville 643.
Edinger founded modern comparative neuroanatomy.
Professor of neurology at Frankfurt, Edinger founded modern comparative neuroanatomy. He first described thalamic pain with postmortem verification and identified the nucleus for pupillary constriction in the fetal midbrain.
Cordasco 40-0433. I have been unable to determine which French work Lane translated, if indeed it is even the translation of a single text of Edwards in French. OCLC lists the author's name as "Milne-Edwards," but, following Cordasco (and virtually every title-page of books by Edwards that I have seen), we list him as "Edwards." Professor of Natural History at the Royal College of Henry IV, Edwards devoted his professional career to elucidating the facts of comparative physiology and comparative neurology.
Eycleshymer was head of the Department of Anatomy, University of Illinois; Moodie was assistant professor at Illinois; Schoemaker was professor of anatomy at St. Louis University. A valuable and uncommon reference work for anatomical names with many biographies, which usually cite the author's principal anatomical works. Essentially an etymological dictionary of anatomical nomenclature.
University of Leiden doctoral thesis.
Haymaker pp. 23-27; Clarke & O'Malley Human Brain pp. 277-281 (this book). An important book in 19th century neurology. Though appointed professor of psychiatry at Leipzig in 1878 (he was Schreber's first psychiatrist, for a thorough discussion of which see Lothane's In Defense of Schreber), Flechsig devoted most of his life to studying nerve fiber myelogenesis, which he discovered. It made his reputation and led directly to his professorial appointment. In this, his first and probably most significant book on the subject, he named the pyramidal tract. "From his work on the pyramidal tract, which he traced from the pre- and postcentral regions, Flechsig concluded that complete function of the corticospinal tract occurred only after myelination was completed. His studies of myelogenesis, beautifully illustrated in his works, are one of the milestones in modern neurology" [McHenry, pp 174-176].
Haymaker & Schiller, pages 116-119. The great study of cerbral blood supply and arterial infarctions by the leading expert of the time. Foix and his colleagues established histologically in 1921 in the substantia nigra the lesions considered specific for Parkinsonism.
Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm) doctoral thesis.
Freeman's first book. Professor of Neurology at George Washington University from 1926 to 1954, Freeman developed in collaboration with his colleague at GWU, the neurosurgeon James Watts, the procedure of lobotomy (renamed as such to distinguish it from Egas Moniz's procedure of leukotomy). They published their first report on the operation in November 1936 and then in 1942 the first book on the treatment method.
Norman Catalog F4; Norman Freud Catalog F4; Grinstein 10382; Grinstein Freud Bibliography 31; Meyer-Palmedo & Fichtner 1879a. Freud's 4th published paper."In 1877, while still a medical student, Freud modified and improved the Reichert formula (a mixture of nitric acid and glycerin) used for preparing nervous tissue for microscopical examination. This was Freud's first invention, preceding by a few years his gold chloride technique. Although neither invention received widespread acceptance, Bernfeld emphasizes that these two new techniques foreshadowed Freud's later invention of the techniques of free association" [Norman Freud Catalog p. 19].
"Van Gehuchten's work on the structure of nerve cells, and his promulgation of the theory of dynamic polarization i 1891, helped to estagblish the neuron doctrine. … His early work had laid the foundations for his first textbook [this book] …, which went into several editions. The second edition, published in 1897, ranks with the greatest anatomic works of our time …. [and] had a lasting influence on neurological teaching and research in other countries" [Haymaker & Schiller Founders of Neurology 2nd edition pp. 120-123].

Meynell The Two Sydenham Societies, p. 25. First published in English the same year in London by the Sydenham Society. Revised by Hasse before the English translation.
Heiberg was Professor of Anatomy at the University of Christiana, Norway.
Born in Hungary, Heitzman was lecturer in morbid anatomy at the University of Vienna; emigrating to New York in 1874 he later took up dermatology and became a founding member of the American Dermatological Association.
GM 417 (entire set); Heirs to Hippocrates 1735 (this volume) and 1734 (entire set). The individual volumes of Henle's Handbuch were published over a sixteen year span, with the Knochenlehre appearing first in 1855 and the Nervenlehre last in 1871. This 3rd edition, issued to coincide with the publication of the final volume in the set, reprints the text of the revised second edition. Henle'sHandbuch "is considered by many authorities to be the greatest modern system of anatomy." [GM 417]."Civil unrest, caused by widespread unrest throughout the German Confederation in the late 1840s, led Henle to transfer to the University of Göttingen in 1852. When Müller died ten years later, Henle declined the University of Berlin's professorhip. Even though it was the most prestigious anatomical chair in the world, Henle preferred to work in the quiet atmosphere of Göttingen. It was there that he wrote the present work [i.e., the entire Handbuch] over a period of sixteen years. Comprehensive and detailed, the [Handbuch] contained all of what was then known about the structure of the human body and it was illustrated with many excellent drawings made by Henle. The book retained its value as a textbook until the functional approach to anatomy gained dominance. Even today, the work is still valuable for the study of gross human anatomy and its occasional anomalies" [Heirs].
GM 417 (entire set); Heirs to Hippocrates 1740 (this volume) and 1734 (entire set). The individual volumes of Henle's Handbuch were published over a sixteen year span, with the Knochenlehre appearing first in 1855 and the Nervenlehre last in 1871. The final volume in Henle's great Handbuch der systematischen Anatomie des Menschen, "[c]onsidered by many authorities to be the greatest modern system of anatomy." [GM 417].
A completely unknown book: not in OCLC and not in Cordasco. Herring, about whom we have been able to find out nearly nothing, was Associate Professor of Anatomy in Baltimore Medical College. Intended as a supplement to standard anatomies such as Gray, Morris, or Gerrish, Herring's book consists mostly of his original illustrations presented in a striking manner: etched white lines on a blue background (therefore looking somewhat like blueprints)—completely unlike any other neuroanatomical illustrations I have seen from the period.
With a new 11 page preface for the 6th edition.
Horner was Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania His 1829 A Treatise on Pathological Anatomy was the first American work on the subject (GM 2287); in 1824 he described the tensor tarsi (Horner's) muscle, supplying the lacrimal apparatus (GM 1494).
Hun had previously been Professor of the Diseases of the Nervous System at Albany Medical College.

GM 4212; Bulloch's History of Bacteriology, p. 376. First four Lieferungen complete, without the 1876 5. Lieferung, which is part II of Geschlechtsorgane. A 6. Lieferung by Schwartze on Gehör-Organ and 7. by Eppinger on Larynx Trachea were added respectively in 1878 and 1880. These were, however labeled in reverse Band II, 1. Abth, 1. Lief. (Eppinger) and Band II, 2. Abth., 1. Lief. (Schwartze)."German pathologist and pioneer in bacteriology. Born in Königsberg. Studied there under Rathke and Helmholtz, and in Würzburg under Kölliker and Virchow, following the latter to Berlin. . . . In 1895 he emigrated to America and settled in Rush Medical College, Chicago [returning to Europe in 1900]. . . . Klebs was a most prolific writer and worker. Published [an] important memoir on the pathology of gun-shot wounds 1872 and wrote on the bacteriology of enteric fever, rinderpest, vaccinia, diphtheria, syphilis, and tuberculosis. He also wrote but did not finish a large Hanbuch d. path. Anatomie. Klebs was one of the first in every advance in bacteriology but had the misfortune to miss almost every discovery that has turned out to be correct" [Bulloch's History of Bacteriology, p. 376]. The 1. Abt., 3. Lieferung of his Handbuch contains a classic description of glomerulonephritis ("Krebs' disease") on pp. 644-48 [GM 4212]. "With Pasteur, he was perhaps the most important precursor in the bacterial theory of infection; indeed, he did most to win the pathologists to his view" [Garrison's History of Medicine, pp. 580-81].
Published in 6 Abteilungen with the present one devoted to the nervous system. Bibliographically, a text with a complicated history. This started out in 1870 as Quain's Lehrbuch der Anatomie, a translation and adaptation by C. E. E. Hoffmann of the 7th edition of Jones Quain's Elements of Anatomy, becoming with each successive edition nore a native German anatomy. The 2nd edition was by Hoffmann & G. A. Schwalbe; the 3rd edition by Schwalbe & A. A. Rauber; the 4th - 6th editions by Rauber alone; the 7th-11th editions (with the present title) were edited by Kopsch. After the 11th edition retitled Lehrbuch und Atlas der Anatomie des Menschen.
