OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
From the British Medical Journal.
"We feel quite sure the profession will gladly welcome the second edition of Dr. Bateman's well-known and valuable work. It teems with illustrative cases, and is essentially one for the student of Aphasia always to have by him, in order that he may readily refer to it from time to time; any case he may have under his care will indeed be rare if he cannot find an allusion to a parallel one in Dr. Bateman's book.
"We think that the author was very well advised in extending chapter xii., for there are grouped together a number of interesting facts on important topics, such as the difference between the convolutions of criminals and of intellectual men, the difference in the microscopic structure of the brain, the cranial capacity, and other subjects of which it is usually difficult to find any mention."
From the London Medical Recorder.
"The numerous clinical cases form a valuable feature in this book. These illustrative records have been gathered from a wide range of reading and experience, and hardly any case of importance bearing on the subject appears to have escaped notice. As a work of reference, then, this volume will be indispensable to all who are interested in the study of nervous diseases."
From Nature.
"A useful part of this work is a chapter on the Medical Jurisprudence of Aphasia. This is a subject which we believe has not been touched upon in any previous English text-book, and it is of the greatest importance. To summarise briefly, we may say that Dr. Bateman's work is one that should be read by everyone interested in the faculty of language, or in diseases of the nervous system. It contains an enormous amount of valuable material, which has been put together by great labour, and is written by one who has devoted many long years to his subject."
From the Solicitor's Journal.
"This book is a second and greatly-enlarged edition of a treatise published some years since by Dr. Bateman. It gained a prize, on the recommendation of the French Academy of Medicine, in 1891, and its author has recently received the honour of knighthood, in recognition of his distinguished labours.
