Description
The study of language and the brain is heavily dependent on the work of the early aphasiologists, and those wanting to get acquainted with the discipline will come across frequent references to these classic authors. This collection brings together seminal publications by 19th- and 20th-century neurologists concerned with the relationship between language and the brain. In selecting texts the emphasis was on those parts that deal explicitly with the opinion of an author on language processes as revealed by aphasic phenomena. All texts are presented in English (many of them translated for the first time), and preceded by in-depth introductions by present-day specialists in the field. The book includes biographical sketches of the authors discussed, and bibliographies of their relevant publications. This volume is invaluable for professionals and students who prefer to read the originals instead of leaning on textbook summaries.

- Letter from Dr. F. J. Gall to Mr. Joseph F. von Retzeron the prodromus he has completed on the functionsof the human and animal brain
- I. Abilities and propensities are innate in men and animals.
- II. The abilities and propensities are situated in the brain.
- III. IV. Not only do the abilities differ essentially and independently from thepropensities, but also the capabilities and propensities per se among themselves differ essentially and independently from each other
- therefore they must be situated in different and independent parts of the brain.
- V. Different forms of the brain develop from the different distributions of the different organs and their different development.
- VI. Out of the combination and the development of certain organs a certain f orm emerges, both of the entire brain and of its specific parts or their surroundings.
- VII. From the origin of the bones of the skull until old age, the form of the inner of the cranium is determined by the external form of the brain
- consequently certain abilities and propensities can be concluded from the form of the outer surface of the cranium as long as it agrees with the inner form or does not diverge from the known deviations.
