In some of the more recent contributions, indeed, and herein our friends of the German school have been the principal offenders, the tendency has been to retrograde. We certainly did not anticipate, and least of all in England, that a time would arrive when it would be necessary to vindicate the great principle announced by Bell, that principle upon which all accurate knowledge of the nervous system must ever repose, the individuality, namely, and uninterrupted continuity of the primary nervous filaments. Doubts have, however, been thrown upon this fundamental truth; and principally, as it would appear, on the faith of certain dissections and experiments of Stilling, from which it is inferred that the elementary fibres interlace and are fused one with anNo. 101 1 OF THE MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL REVIEW, JULY 1, 1845.
