Its one aim is and always has been to present in as clear and simple a manner as possible an outline of the Central Nervous System to the student who for the first time is brought face to face with this most intricate subject and to furnish him to the best of my ability with those facts which he will find most useful in his future work and which let us trust he will not have soon to unlearn.
