On Aphasia Or Loss Of Speech And The Localisation Of The Faculty Of Articulate Language

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In this groundbreaking medical study, Frederic Bateman explores the phenomenon of aphasia, or loss of speech, and its relation to the brain and its various faculties. He also discusses the localization of the faculty of articulate language, shedding new light on the workings of the human mind. With detailed case studies and thoughtful analysis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in linguistics and the brain sciences.

Excerpt from On Aphasia, or Loss of Speech: And the Localisation of the Faculty of Articulate Language Perhaps there is no subject in the whole range of neuro-pathology that has engrossed so large a share of the attention, not only of the medical profession, but of scientific men generally, in all parts of the world, as the Localisation of Speech, and the causes which interfere with the outward manifestation of that faculty. My first edition, published just twenty years ago, was one of the earliest, if not the very first treatise on Aphasia that appeared in this country; and the favourable reception accorded to it both at home and abroad, might justly have encouraged me to issue a second edition long ago. I was deterred, however, from a hasty reproduction of the work, by the great diversity of opinion prevalent upon the points at issue, and I have preferred to wait till the horizon of scientific controversy was somewhat cleared, and the tangled skein of medical psychology partly unravelled. In the arrangement of my subject, I have followed very much the plan of the first edition, beginning with a condensed bibliographical sketch of the contributions of British, American, and continental writers.
