READERIN THE HISTORY OF APHASIA -- Editorial page -- Title page -- Copyright page -- Table of contents -- Foreword -- Introduction -- Franz Joseph Gall -- Biography -- Introduction -- References -- Letter from Dr. F. J. Gall to Mr. Joseph F. von Retzeron the prodromus he has completed on the functionsof the human and animal brain -- I. Abilities and propensities are innate in men and animals. -- II. The abilities and propensities are situated in the brain. -- III. IV. Not only do the abilities differ essentially and independently from thepropensities, but also the capabilities and propensities per se among themselves differ essentially and independently from each other -- therefore they must be situated in different and independent parts of the brain. -- V. Different forms of the brain develop from the different distributions of the different organs and their different development. -- VI. Out of the combination and the development of certain organs a certain f orm emerges, both of the entire brain and of its specific parts or their surroundings. -- VII. From the origin of the bones of the skull until old age, the form of the inner of the cranium is determined by the external form of the brain -- consequently certain abilities and propensities can be concluded from the form of the outer surface of the cranium as long as it agrees with the inner form or does not diverge from the known deviations. -- Paul Broca -- Biography -- Selected Bibliography -- Introduction -- Setting the Scene -- Broca's claims -- Broca on language -- Evaluation of Broca's contribution -- References -- Selection from the work of Paul Broca -- Notes on the site of the faculty of articulated language, followed by an observation of aphemia.
