Abstract
THE opening pages of this book are a sharp reminder of the misfortunes of Europe. It is dedicated to Otfrid Foerster, the great neuro-surgeon of Breslau, and the foreword by John Fulton recalls the work of Dusser de Barenne at Utrecht. Dusser de Barenne left Utrecht for Yale in 1930, and the main development of his new methods took place there. But to many members of the Physiological Society his name will recall their visit to Holland in 1925, where they saw Einthoven at Leyden with his string galvanometers, Dusser de Barenne, Zwaarde-maker and de Kleijn at Utrecht, and Magnus with his team of neurologists in the old plague hospital of the town. They will remember the cheerful and almost overwhelming hospitality of their Dutch colleagues, the fine buildings and the prosperous countryside.
