Full gilt-ruled and gilt-lettered morocco, top edges gilt, hinges slightly worn. Very good set. Presented by the Montreal Neurological Institute to neurologist Norman Dott (1897-1973), with Dott's name tooled in gilt on the front covers of both volumes and special dedication leaf (dated 1955) bound in the front of the first volume. First Collected Edition of Hughlings Jackson's most important neurological works, including his key papers on epilepsy and epileptiform convulsions and the evolution and dissolution of the nervous system. Although Jackson was a prolific author, publishing over 300 papers on clinical neurology and neurophysiology, he never produced a larger textbook or monograph—a gap filled by this collected edition of his major neurological writings. This copy was presented by the Montreal Neurological Institute, directed by Wilder Penfield, to Norman Dott (1897-1973), one of the founders of the neurology department at the University of Edinburgh, on the occasion of Dott's delivering the 20th Hughlings Jackson Memorial Lecture in 1955. Dott performed the first planned intracranial operation for aneurysm (Garrison-Morton.com 4901). . (Inventory #: 51780)
