Bibliographs 1743 items, virtually all with abstracts.
OCLC locates only one copy, at Duke. Contains material on the effect of the endocrines and sympathetic nervous system on temperament. Mac-Auliffe, who specialized in the study of temperament, was adjunct director of l'École des Hautes-Études, Mac-Auliffe specialized in the study of temperament and developed a typology based on body-type somewhat similar to Kretschmer's.
Facsimile reprint of the 1891 New Sydenham Society edition.
Plummer's name is misrendered on the title-page, series-title, and front cover as "Henry W."—the wrong Plummer.
Basedow's disease (named after the German physician Karl Basedow [1799-1854] who described it in 1840), also commonly known as Grave's disease after the English physician who had described it five years before Basedow, remained an etiological enigma through much of the 19th century, usually being construed as a neurological disease. It was Möbius who first attributed its symptoms of exophthalmic goiter to the thyroid gland's hyperthyroidism, which Möbius had first suggested in an 1886 paper. Strümpell, the leading German internist of his day, thought it was Möbius's greatest clinical achievement "to have erected, with one single stroke, the fruitful etiological concept in the place of all those previous contradictory and unsatisfactory attempts at explaining Graves' (or Basedow's) disease. . . . A substance produced by the thyroid causing Graves' disease and antagonistic to the agent causing myxedema? This concept was so radical that Möbius' account of it in the twenty-second volume of Nothnagel's omnibus on internal medicine was presented in a separate monograph. Another author's account of 'diseases of the thyroid' covered only myxedema and cretinism. Endocrinology as such was not yet conceived; the term itself was coined only in 1909 by Nicola Pende" [Francis Schiller, A Möbius Strip: Fin-de-Siècle Neuropsychiatry and Paul Möbius, pp. 4-5].
Paton was Professor of Physiology in the University of Glasgow.
OCLC records copies only at the University of Chicago & NLM. Pepere was lecturer in pathological anatomy at the university of Pisa. Contains a chapter on the parathyroid and convulsions.
Periitz was a Berlin neurologist whose 1912 Die Nervenkrankheiten des Kindesalters (2nd ed. 1932) was the 3rd textbook of pediatric neurology published in Germany (the 2nd by a neurologist). He subsequently became interested in endocrinology. The present work, which pays particular attention to the relation of the endocrine and nervous systems, is an early explicit contribution to neuroendocrinology.

GM 1127: "Remak, Owen, and Virchow had previously noted the presence of what may have been parathyroids; the first systematic account of them was given by Sandström. An English translation of this paper appeared in Bull. Inst. Hist. Med., Baltimore, 1938, 6, 192-222; a translation was also published in book form at Baltimore, 1938."
The fourth annual supplement to Selye's 1950 book.
Published simultaneously in Toronto by The Ryerson Press.
Chapter VII "Some Operational Aspects of the System" was written by George Ember. "Symbolic Shortand System" actually refers to the design of a total information storage and retrieval system, specifically to the system developed by Selye starting in 1926 for categorizing and keeping track of the enormous endocrinological library brought by Selye to the University of Montreal in 1945, a library begun by Salomon Stricker, then inherited sequentially by Arnold Paltauf, Arthur Biedl, and Selye. By 1962 the collection numbered about half a million items, when about 2/3 of it, along with the filing system, was destroyed by fire. Four years later not only had most of the destroyed items been replaced but the number of items in the collection had increased to 700,000. The present work, in which Selye describes the theoretical rationale behind his classificatory scheme, is not to be confused with Selye & Ember's Symbolic Shorthand System for Physiology and Medicine, which was a handbook for using the system.

Published posthumously and Tridon's second-to-last book. An early (the first?) attempt to explain for a lay audience character in both psychological and endocrinological terms.Born in France, Tridon became a New York playwright and radical intellectual (he translated into English numerous French & German plays, as well as works by Lenin). After World War I he set himself up as a wild psychoanalyst unaffiliated with either the New York Psychoanalytic Society or American Psychoanalytic Association. Like many Americans he continued to be influenced by Jung and Adler and saw no reason to discount their ideas just because they had been banished from Freudian analysis. Though a 'wild' psychoanalyst, his books on psychoanalysis between 1919 and 1924 (two were published posthumously) did much to popularize psychoanalysis among the educated public. He died from cancer at age 45.
