Abstract
THE late Dr. G. E. Witt was a pupil of Kraepelin and Bonhoeffer, and it might have been expected that he would produce an authoritative book. Unfortunately, this present one does not fulfil its grandiose title, and is disappointing. A foreword states that it is “A collection of thoroughly worked through and paragraphised notes. These notes or paragraphs have kept their independency. The sequence is fortuitous.” This places a strain on the reader. The foreword admits “This mode of presentation has its advantages and its disadvantages. The disadvantages can be reduced by an index.” Perhaps an index will be a part of the second volume ; none is provided in the present one.
