    PREFACE. In the following pages, which are based on a portion of my course of Lectures on Medicine, I have endeavoured to give a concise description of the more important points relating to the Diseases of the Spinal Cord. In some places the original form is retained, but for the most part I have, for the sake of condensation, abandoned the colloquial style of the lecture-room, and in many places arranged the matter in the form of headings. Believing that one great secret of all successful teaching- is to teach by the eye as well as by the ear, I am in the habit of copiously illustrating my lectures by diagrams, draw- ings, and microscopical preparations. The diagrams and drawings are introduced into the text in the form' of wood- cuts, the microscopical sections are represented in colours. The chromo-lithographs are all drawn by myself, first with the camera lucida, and then in lithograph chalk; they are with two exceptions (figures 56 and 151, which are copied from Charcot) representations of my own sections.
