Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Idiocy and Imbecility Though not a few pages of my former book 'oh Idiocy and Imbecility are to be found in this volume, the changes are so considerable that they warrant a more comprehensive title. The principal additions to the new work are the pages on the Development of the Brain in Childhood, the Pathology of Genetous and Paralytic Idiocy, the chapters on Sclerotic and Syphilitic Idiocy, and that on the Insanity of Children. I am pleased to have this opportunity of being able to give my more matured views, though the principal merit of this work probably is that it brings together the widely-scattered studies of able observers on the subject of Idiocy and Imbecility.
