AB Duchenne's classic book on the physiology of motion has been rendered into readable English by E. B. Kaplan, who deserves for this labor of love the thanks of anatomists, physiologists and physicians.The use of the modern anatomic nomenclature increases the readability of this book. Duchenne's analysis of the physiology of movements should find many interested readers at this time, when, as a result of critical investigations of the English school (Walshe) and of experimental work of American investigators, our concept of the function of the motor cortex is greatly modified. The printing and binding add to the distinction of the work.
