First Edition. Stuart, a Dutch pastor and historian, was one of the strongest advocates in Holland of Gall's theory of localized brain function. Despite his theological background, Stuart "supported Gall in every way, with both regard to his explanation of brain anatomy and physiology and to his views on the relationship between the shape of the brain and the development of the skull. Remarkably he accepted Gall's materialism and rejected his fatalism" (Heiningen, p. 113). Gall first visited Holland in April 1806, where he gave lectures on his system of brain function; afterwards Stuart published his "reminiscences" (Herinneringen) of Gall's lectures in the present work.
