    PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION The alterations in this edition consist mainly in the addition of two new lectures and the substitution of more appropriate examples for some of those used in the first edition. Case 3, Lecture V., proved not to be paralysis, but luetic feeble-minded- ness. Case 1, Lecture VIII., suffered later on with a tumour in the brain, which had possibly somewhat influenced the clinical picture. Case 1, Lecture XXIII., is more accurately to be interpreted as arterio-sclerotic, and not as senile dementia. Their places have been filled by other cases less open to criticism. Syphilitic and arterio-sclerotic feeble-mindedness are further illustrated by some new examples. But the most important point is the addition of seven new cases to supplement the teaching regarding the insanity of degeneration. Some slight alterations have also been made in the arrangement of material. The advance of knowledge, so far as the needs of the student seem to require, has not been overlooked. E. KRAEPELIN. Munich, 1905.
