Epileptic Reactions: An Attempt at Classification
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
The subject of this essay has almost the blessings of antiquity. The increase in the knowledge of the aetiology of epilepsy makes the revision of its classification very necessary. It has been well said that complexity of nomenclature implies poverty of knowledge. This is conspicuously true of one branch, in particular, of medicine, where the desire for classification has outrun the accumulation of data. It is not so with epilepsy, where increased knowledge of causation necessitates a revision of the scheme of classification.
