Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-93) was a professor of anatomical
pathology at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris, and one of
the founders of modern neurology. Numerous disorders are named
after him, and he was one of the best known doctors in
nineteenth-century France. He was the first to describe and name
multiple sclerosis, and undertook crucial research into what became
known as Parkinson's Disease. He also worked on hysteria, and was
one of Freud's teachers. These two volumes of lectures on
neurological illnesses, first published in Paris in 1872-3 and
1877, were based on extensive clinical studies at the Salpetriere,
and edited by Desire Magloire Bourneville. Detailed analysis of
symptoms, sometimes using photography, combined with post-mortem
analyses, allowed Charcot to produce classic descriptions of
different neurological disorders. Volume 2 includes methods of
clinical observation, and notes on spinal compression, infantile
paralysis, Meniere's Disease, and epilepsy caused by syphilis.
