Abstract
When neurology began to develop as a specialty, Russell Reynolds was one of the first neurologists appointed to the Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic, Queen Square. Of many contributions his work on epilepsy was influential, espousing many new concepts. He followed and developed Hughlings Jackson’s original ideas about positive and negative neurological symptoms. His approach to patients was holistic at a time when more objectively defined notions of illness dominated medicine. He wrote on vertigo, and about criminal lunacy, and his book The Diagnosis of Diseases of the Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves and their appendages was a major text of the period. Well versed in poetry, philosophy, art, and music, he was widely admired. He became President of the Royal College of Physicians.
