Quoted byMicheal Finn, 'The West Riding Lunatic Asylum and the making of the modern brain sciences in the nineteenth century', University of Leeds PhD thesis (2012).
Description:'Darwin replied immediately to [Crichton-Brown's letter of the day before] to request a copy of the published paper [of Ferrier], noting
Prof. Ferrier's researches sound most wonderful and interesting... I shall be very curious to learn whether he believes that he excites an idea and that this leads to the movements, or that he acts directly on the motor nerves.
