Illustrations of normal and defective development of the multipolar cells of the cerebral cortex; of their degeneration in senile insanity, and of certain albuminous or protoplasmic exudations commonly found in the neighbourhood of the junction of the white and grey matter of the convolutions in cases of general paralysis and ordinary mania, in which the symptoms have been more or less acute. (With plates.)
