Magnan's second published work (preceded only by his 1866 doctoral thesis on the anatomical lesions of GPI) and his first on alcoholism. Magnan pioneered the study of alcoholic psychosis.A leading figure in late 19th century French organic psychiatry, Magnan devoted most of his life's work at the Asile de Sainte Anne, where he became chief physician, to the study of the effects of alcohol and absinthe, which he pursued through experimentation as well as through clinical and social studies. He contributed greatly to the understanding of deliria, convulsions, and toxic states. Many of the terms he used became prevalent in the psychiatric literature. Magnan's research paved the way for Korsakov's classic 1889 description of alcoholic psychosis. See Zilboorg & Henry, pp. 404-406.
Haymaker & Schiller Founders of Neurology, pp. 476-79; McHenry Garrison's History of Neurology, p. 296; DSB IX: 108-9. Contains 48 clinical papers, including many for which Marie is most famous. In addition to the three papers explicitly mentioned in the title, contains the following sections: Encephale (12 papers); Infections et maladies nerveuses (7, including 3 on epilepsy); maladies de la moelle (17); Varia (7). The first volume appeared in 1926.An intern to Broca and Charcot, Marie in 1888 became physician to the Paris Hospitals, with the title agrégé bestowed on him the next year. With Brissaud he founded in 1893 the Revue Neurologique and in 1899 the Société de Neurologique de Paris. In 1907 he became professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Paris, and in 1917 succeeded Déjèrine as professor of clinical neurology (Charcot had been the first occupant of the chair). See the half-dozen citations of his publications in GM-5. Marie "gave original descriptions of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, achondroplasia, and craniocleidodysostosis and, in 1886 with Charcot, described what is now known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (peroneal muscular atrophy or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease). In 1885, he had described acromegaly, and noted its association with pituitary tumor. In 1893 he identified the hereditary ataxia now named for him and later described ankylosing spondylitis" [Pryse-Phillips Companion to Clinical Neurology, 2nd ed., OUP, 2003].
A specially issued supplement to the normal series of reports issued by the German Army Command, this is exclusively devoted to neurological problems of all kinds that resulted from war injuries or illnesses experienced by German forces during the Franco-Prussian war. Based on the work of a number of German physicians — who form a virtual who's who of German neurology in the time —, the report benefits from the attention of some of the finest medical minds of the period. An invaluable reference and commentary on the status of this specialized area of medicine during a formative period. Of the ten chapters, two are devoted to epilepsy (traumatic and idiopathic), with the others dealing with reflex neuroses and traumatic paralyses, diseases of the CNS and general nervous disturbances, traumatic tetanus, infectious diseases, meningitis, tabes dorsalis, and war psychoses.

A nearly complete run of an important period neuropsychiatric journal edited by a doyen of German academic psychiatry. Publication of the journal must have been interrupted by the war, as the tenth & final volume appeared in 1917. The war also explains why Jelliffe didn't receive the last issue of vol. 9 and vol. 10. Professor from 1895 at Giessen, Sommer was an early researcher into psychiatric heredity and the first president of the German Medical Society for Psychotherapy.Artiles on retardation, cretinism, catatonia, neuropsychiatry, clinical neurology, cerebral paralysis, forensic psychiatry, epilepsy, etc.
Originally given as lectures at the École Pratique des Hautes Études that were subsequently published in the journals Encephale and Archives de Neurologie. The first of two books by Soury on the history of neurology, this is a detailed account, with extensive bibliographical citations, of the work on cerebral localization done since the publication of Fritsch and Hitzig's pathbreaking work in 1870. The section on Goltz, reprinted from Encephale, appeared as an 86 page pamphlet in 1886. The revised and corrected 1892 edition is the final state of the text. Pages 402-428 contain an appendix on "L'Épilepsie corticale: recherches expérimentales et anatomo-cliniques de l'école italienne," also with numerous citations and discussions of the original texts.Not a physician, Soury paid his way through school and was eventually awarded a doctorate of letters. He published a number of books in the late 1860s and 1870s on the history of Christianity. His first psychological book was an 1875 study of women (Portraits des femmes). In 1881 Morbid Psychology: Studies on Jesus and the Gospels was published in London — the only book of Soury's ever translated into English (French edition 1878). Taking up the study of psychology and neurology when he was 23 after discovering the exciting work being done at the Salpêtrière, Soury reached "those heights of scholarship that made him the first and to this day the greatest and most voluminous writer on the history of neurology" [Haymaker p. 274]. His massive 1899 treatise on the history of neuroscience, still the most extensive history up to the end of the 19th century, remains along with the present book a valuable contribution.

Temkin. The Falling Sickness. p. 229-31; McHenry p. 136; Blake 1979 p. 454. Issued as the first part of the third volume of his collected works on nervous diseases, but the first volume published. "Tissot collected material for many years for his important treatise on nervous diseaes. His work is especially important because of his numerous condensations of previous literature and his precise references to many writers otherwise forgotten or overlooked. One of the most significant portions of his work is his monograph on epilepsy . . . Overall, Tissot's importance is due to his clear differentiation between diseases of the nervous systme and the pathology of other body systems, w hich laid the foundation for modern neurology" [Heirs of Hippocrates #980 [the complete Traité, 1778-1780 edition]."Tissot's Treatise on Epilepsy, published in 1770, is the first book on this subject to show all the characteristics of Enlightenment in medicine. Written in the French vernacular, it is at once learned, scientific, and readable. … Tissot is to be found on the side of those opposing old beliefs for which no adequate reason could be given" [Temkin. The Falling Sickness. p. 229].
