Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The West Riding Lunatic Asylum Medical Reports (WRLAMR) were published from 1871 to 1876. Organized by Sir James Crichton-Browne at a little-known mental asylum in northern England, the WRLAMR contains many historically important works in neurology by such landmark figures as Sir David Ferrier and John Hughlings Jackson. The writings on epilepsy in the WRLAMR are particularly important and reveal the 19th-century shift in understanding the etiology of seizures.
