and toes ; while it is presumed that many blanks remain 

 to be filled, as no nerve is considered exempt from this 

 disorder. 



Where the minuteness of the nerves renders their exact 

 names or places unassignable, ground is afforded for another 

 division; and in these cases also, it is remarked, that the 

 pain often differs in quality ; being less limited and acute 

 than in tic or sciatica, thous;h sometimes resembling it, in 

 consequence apparently of the high sensibility of the parts 

 or the great number of the nervous branches alloted to 

 sensation. It is under this head, perhaps, that the greatest 

 repugnance will be felt to side with our author; but we 

 must trust his fate to the general arguments which we shall 

 afterwards adduce from his statements, while we commence 

 by giving this catalogue. And we will extract this portion 

 of the table as it stands, since it will also serve to give 

 a specimen of the manner in which the whole has been 

 drawn up. 



" Of Unassignable Nerves. Pain commonly less acute, or dull, 

 or none, (in this last title the author alludes to the neuralgia of 

 nerves of motion, as in the heart, causing spasms or palpitation 

 only.) Periodical, or irregular

The third division enumerates a certain class of inflamma- 

 tions arising from neuralgia ; while, for proof of the truth 

 of this view, we must refer to the few remarks which we 

 ghall make hereafter on the author's general theory. The
