Books in the Lecons sur les maladies du systeme nerveux 2 Volume Set series

Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-93) was one of the founders of modern neurology. Detailed analysis of symptoms combined with post-mortem analyses enabled him to produce classic descriptions of different neurological disorders. These lectures, based on Charcot's work at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, were first published in Paris in 1872-3 and 1877.
