Excerpt from On Aphasia: Being a Contribution to the Subject of the Dissolution of Speech From Cerebral Disease It will be observed that the closing part of this volume descends almost to the level of a polemic against Dr. Broadbent's views. The distinguished author will, I hope, believe me when I say that this arises, not because I attach little, but because I attach much, importance to his opinions. Some portions of Dr. Broadbent's work on Aphasia must be simply accepted and not criticised, but other portions are open to question. He belongs to a school of psychologists which manifests a tendency to break up the human mind into numerous faculties, with their corresponding cortical centres, and it is as the highest exponent of this school that his views are here singled out for adverse comment.
