Excerpt from New Memoir on the Nervous System The present Memoir may be considered as supplementary to two Memoirs, published in 1837, and as illustrative of my subsequent volume "On the Diseases and Derangements of the Nervous System, " published in 1841. I take this opportunity of correcting several misapprehensions on the part of authors of eminence in regard to my opinions. Prof Müller observes: - "Dr. Hall goes too for in admitting that, in the healthy state, every motion which follows true sensation is voluntary, and that all irritations of sensitive parts, which give rise to reflected motions, are unattended by sensation." In my second Memoir, §63, I have expressed myself thus: - "There is no immediate connection between sensation and motion. But there are two modes in which sensation may induce motion: the first is through volition, the second through emotion." I have never been of opinion that reflex actions are unattended by sensation, in the perfect healthy subject, for they generally arc so, but that they are not necessarily attended by sensation.
