[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST n7qJ1R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The neurological library of S A Kinnier Wilson, now in the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, contains two books by Henry Charlton Bastlan. Various forms of hysterical or functional paralysis (1893) is inscribed "To Dr Wilson by the Author, July 1906". Wilson was Bastlan's house-physician at the time. The second book, given to Wilson's son by Bastian's daughter in 1940, is a lavishly illustrated tome, Studies in heterogenesis (1903). The two books testify to a scientific Jekyll and Hyde-one of the founders of neurology and a wildly unorthodox biologist.
