Wellcome II, p. 216. "The clinical study of movement disorders or involuntary movements began in the Middle Ages with the descriptions of the dancing mania. This had often been associated with infectious epidemics or had occurred in forms of group hysteria. The first definite clinical entity, St. Vitus Dance or chorea minor was described by Sydenham (1686). Other descriptions of chorea minor appeared in the Eighteenth Century writings of Richard Mead (1751) and William Cullen (1778-1784). The first separate treatise on chorea was by E. M. Bouteille (1810)" [McHenry, Garrison's History of Neurology, p. 406].
The first American neurology book, in which Brigham "discussed the structure and function of the brain, medulla, spinal cord, and cranial nerves.

Professor of Nervous & Mental Diseases at Jefferson College in Philadelphia from 1892, Dercum "made many contributions to the neurological literature and was editor of the Textbook of Nervous Diseases by American Authors (1895) … He described adiposis dolorosa in 1900 … [and] was president of the American Neurological Association in 1896" [DeJong A History of American Neurology, p. 51].

Osler's second published neurological monograph."Although Richard Bright had noted the association between heart disease and chorea, it was Osler, among others like Octavius Sturges, who solidly established it … His work on chorea is still considered an excellent clinical epidemiological study and his introductory comments are still worth reading" Ashwal Founders of Child Neurology p.328.

Divided into the following sections: surgical treatment of the brain; the spinal cord; cranial nerves; peripheral nerves; the CNS. "In 1928 Sharpe and Sharpe reported a series of 193 operated cases of brachial plexus birth palsy. They concluded that if the arm was completely paralysed at birth and if no recovery was evident at the end of a month's time, immediate surgery was indicated. If slight movement was noted to be present at birth or ecame evident by the age of one month, careful splinting and physiotherapy were instituted and continued until the third month. In their experience most cases made a satisfactory recovery within that time" [Walker's A History of Neurosurgery, p. 415].

Hunter & Macalpine pp.221-24; Meynell #3, pp. 17-21; GM-5 #63. A more scholarly edition than the 1848 translation. Text entirely in Latin."Competing theories about hysteria circulated in the latter half of the [17th] century. London physician Thomas Sydenham used the term in a nonspecific sense to signify any mental disorder short of what we would call outright psychosis" [Stone Healing the Mind, p.42]. Sydenham, for whom hysteria was a catch-all category more or less corresponding to what we call 'neurosis,' diagnosed hysteria in a sixth of his patients, noting that depression often accompanied the symptoms and that they could co-exist with physical disease. Also contains separate discussions of madness.
