Preface to
the fourth edition
The three previous editions of this book were written by only
one of us. The addition of a younger and enthusiastic second au-
thor has undoubtedly improved the book. It is more accurate
and thoroughly modern. Both authors have been single-
minded in their intention to present, clearly and concisely, that
neurology and neurosurgery which is required by medical
students at the time of graduation.
The revision of diagrams, use of colour, clarification of text,
and inclusion of illustrative case histories have all helped, but it
is the authors’ discipline to adhere closely to the title of the book,
Essential Neurology
, which makes them hope that the textbook
remains helpful to its readers.

Preface to
the first edition
Excellent textbooks of neurology already exist, which deal with
the subject in a detailed and comprehensive manner. This is not
what the majority of clinical medical students require.
In writing this textbook, I have been preoccupied with the
following questions:
• Have I kept to basic principles?
• Have I made each topic as easy as possible to understand,
both in the text and in the diagrams?
• Have I omitted all unnecessary detail?
There is no section in the book specifically dedicated to ‘How
to examine the nervous system’. I believe each student has to
learn this by apprenticeship to clinical neurologists in the ward
and in the clinic.
Every effort has been made to ensure that this book lives up to
its name, in setting out clearly all that the student needs to know
about the common neurological and neurosurgical conditions.
