A contemporary reviewer wrote "This book commends itself not only to psychologists, but also to physicians, and especially to alienists and neurologists, for whom it contains many suggestions, both as to the nature of some diseases of the nervous system and also as to their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. In this connection, one of its most practical aspects comes out in the discussion of the types of amnesia. The author shows, for instance, that amnesia may be normal and merely temporary and functional; or it may be irretraceable and curable; or it may be absolute and incurable, and more than this, he believes that he can demonstrate that it is possible, by making use of the methods of the psychologist, to differentiate these forms of amnesia, to refer them to their anatomical and physiological bases, to separate the curable from the incurable, and to treat the latter by special methods which arise out of investigations into the psychical nature of the subjects of the amnesia. The cases which he adduces to illustrate this position are of great interest, and in most respects convincing". Please see photos for more detail in Table of Contents.
