and mental relations, as much as possible under the scope of scientific 

 inquiry. The first Lecture is devoted to an exposition of the physical 

 conditions of mental function in health. In the second Lecture are 

 sketched the features of 'some forms of degeneracy of mind, as exhibited 

 in morbid varieties of the human kind, with the purpose of bringing 

 prominently into notice the operation of physical causes from 

 generation to generation, and the relationship of mental to other 

 diseases of the nervous system. In the third Lecture are displayed 

 the relations of morbid states of the body and disordered mental 

 function. Appendix I. is a criticism of the Archbishop of YorKs

THE PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY OF MIND. 

 Second Edition, Revised. 8vo. i6s. 



This work is the result of an endeavour on the author's part to arrive 

 at some definite conviction with regard to the physical conditions of 

 mental function, and the relation of the phenomena of sound and 

 unsound mind. The author's aim throughout has been twofold : 

 I. To treat of mental phenomena from a physiological rather than 

 from a metaphysical point of view. II. To bring the manifold 

 instructive instances presented by the unsound mind to bear upon 

 the interpretation of the obscure problems of mental science. In the 

 first part, the author pursues his independent inquiry into the 

 science of Mind in the same direction as that followed by Bain, 

 Spencer, Laycock, and Carpenter ; and in the second, he studies 

 the subject in a light which, in this country at least, is almost 

 entirely novel. "Dr. Maiidsley's work, which has already become 

 standard, we most urgently recommend to the careful study of 

 all those who are interested in the physiology and pathology of the 

 brain. " Anthropological Review.
