“For all those who do not hold the view that words and thoughts originate from sources above and outside the nerve substance, the localization of the functions of speech in portions of the cortex follows as a necessary postulate of logic.… Physiological Experiment, as we might expect, leaves us here in the lurch.”--Art. “Disturbances of speech,” _Ziemssen’s Cyclopedia of Medicine_, Vol. XIV., p. 720.
