Thomas Graham Brown, 1882-1965

Thomas Graham Brown was a neurophysiologist well known in the twenties for the detailed studies of reflex movement and posture which he made by Sherrington’s methods, and perhaps better known in the thirties as the redoubtable climber who had found several new routes to the summit of Mont Blanc. He was born in 1882 in Edinburgh. His father, Dr J. J. Graham Brown, was to be President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1912 and was related to several of the eminent doctors who had maintained the reputation of the Edinburgh Medical School throughout the nineteenth century. It was natural therefore that the son should be trained to medicine and should go to his father’s school, the Edinburgh Academy, and afterwards to the University as a medical student. There were four children in the family, Thomas, the eldest, a brother who became a Captain in the Royal Navy, one who became an architect and one sister. The two elder boys used sometimes to sail with their father in the yacht which he shared with a friend, and in Thomas the interest revived when he was too old for climbing but could still make long cruises in a small motor boat. When he was a schoolboy he was fond of swimming and diving, skating and golf, but there was a period when his eyesight was troublesome and he was sent to an oculist friend of his father in Wiesbaden to be treated and to learn German.

Leopold's Principles and Methods of Physical Diagnosis

Clinical Examination: A Textbook for Students and Doctors. By Teachers of the Edinburgh Medical School. Edited by John Macleod. 513 pp, 70 illus. $7. Williams & Wilkins Co., 428 E Preston St, Baltimore 21202, 1964 Two more textbooks indicate the persisting importance of the clinician's role as an observer of sick people. Leopold's book is the more conventional. After the customary obeisance to history-taking, its chapters present the techniques of physical examination for each region of the body, followed by accounts of normal findings, abnormalities, and interpretations. The text is handsomely published, wellillustrated, and—in Dr. Hopkins' thorough revision—has a distinctly contemporary flavor sometimes lacking in comparable books that have gone through multiple editions. A drawback common to many other books on physical diagnosis is the frequent use of inverse clinical logic. Instead of cataloging the pathologic entities that produce such manifestations as thoracic dullness or diastolic murmurs, the book describes

Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord By J. Ryland Whitaker. Second edition. Edinburgh: Livingstone. 1892.

We had the pleasure of recommending the first edition of this little book to the readers of the “Journal of Mental Science,” and we hope in time to see a third edition. We know that the work has been found a useful text-book for students in the Edinburgh Medical School, and no doubt also in other places. Any medical man who wishes to refresh his knowledge of the spinal cord and brain will find a timely help in Mr. Whitaker's clear descriptions and well-planned illustrations and diagrams. In the present edition the page is larger, and there are now 178 pages instead of 135. The chapter on the methods of ascertaining the location of the different sulci and gyri in relation to the skull and scalp is a useful addition at present, when surgery is busy with new operations on the cranial contents. The principal improvement is, however, in the lithographic plates, of which we have now 40 instead of 22. They are also more elaborate in outline, and the effect of the diagrams has been more carefully studied. The labour in designing these illustrations must have been fully equal to that of writing the text. Mr. Whitaker does not claim to teach any new views in his book, but for a clear and concise description of the nervous centres it has not been surpassed.
