Excerpt from A Manual of the Nervous Diseases of Man, Vol. 1 It is the more necessary to provide ourselves with such support at a time when shallow dilettantism seems to be usurping the place of rigid scientific inquiry. It is the surest way to guard against an error, which medical inquirers have been more guilty of than other students of natural science, that they have attempted to confound that which is accessible with that which is inaccessible to human research. The doctrine of nervous diseases has ever been peculiarly subject to this species of abuse; I have carefully avoided increasing the unknown range, by adding anything that was untrustworthy. I have been averse to anticipating the reader's judgment, by premising doctrinal considerations, which are but too apt to interfere with an unbiassed analysis of facts; general pathology is the keystone of the arch of which special pathology forms the foundation. This much is necessary to justify my departure from the ordi nary construction of manuals. I have retained the same division of the nervous diseases which I have followed for a series of years in my lectures delivered in the university; it is determined by the attributes of the four nervous levers of the organism; accordingly the subject will be considered under the following four heads: the Neurosis of Sensibility, the Neurosis of Motility, Logo-neurosis, and Tropho-neurosis. The delineations of the individual diseases have been taken from cases observed by myself, whenever this was feasible; they are unsoiled by the dust of tradition. I have been at great pains to exhibit the results obtained by surgical observation and experiment as the prototypes of complicated pathological conditions. It was not a part of my plan to introduce historical and literary disquisitions, although I have never neglected the duty of giving every one his due. Mv desire is, that practitioners, who are able to dispense with an accumulation of formulae, may derive benefit from the following investigations. But it is my ardent hope, that this book may be found by students of medicine, not only a source of instruction, but that it may stimulate them to inquiry, in order that fresh forces may be brought to bear on the great aim which we must seek to achieve, the emancipation of medical science from the trammels of mere mechanical technicalities.

Excerpt from A Manual Nervous Diseases of Man, Vol. 1 The reputation as a neurologist which Dr. Romberg has established for himself in Germany, is of a character in itself to justify the publication of his chief work, incomplete though it is, in the English language. If the translator has succeeded in giving to the thoughts of the foreign author a suitable form, he does not fear but that his readers will coincide with the prevailing opinion as to the value of Dr. Romberg's observations, as well as of the deductions to which he has been led. The English reader will be gratified by the predilection which the author shows for the physiologists and pathologists of our country; and he will, at the same time, feel constrained to admit, that the practical character which is said to distinguish British men of science, peculiarly stamps the work of Dr. Romberg. His manly and energetic zeal in the prosecution of his physiological and pathological inquiries, and his cordial and undisguised contempt of the fashionable quackeries, will equally establish his claim to the eminent respect of his medical brethren on this side of the German ocean. Dr. Romberg states himself explicitly to belong to that school which bases the study of pathological phenomena upon physiology; and he warns against the tendency prevailing, both abroad and in this country, to seek for all explanations of diseased action exclusively either in the chemical changes occurring in the fluids and solids during life, or in the manifestations of morbid change as presented in the dead-house.
