Thomson, William Hanna. Brain and personality; or, The physical relations of the brain to the mind. **$1.20. Dodd.
“The object of this book is to acquaint the general reader with the remarkable discoveries of modern physiological science of the specific relations of certain areas on the surface of the brain to special mental functions. One of the first results of these discoveries is to impart an entirely new aspect to the important subject of Education.”
“This work on ‘Brain and personality’ ought to be of interest to every person who possesses either of those entities. Aiming to acquaint the general reader with the remarkable discoveries of modern physiological science, it is eminently clear and readable. Confusions and inconsistencies in ontology do not invalidate the author’s contributions to physiology, for, like the brain itself, while one part may be useless in solving problems, the other half is indispensable.” I. Woodbridge Riley.
