CHARLES ALFRED BALLANCE (1856-1936) Some points in the surgery of the brain and its membranes. Macmillan 1907 xv, 405 pp., illus., ports. 22.1 cm.

Ballance was a skilled surgeon and, in this book on brain surgery, sets forth many ideas that were quite modern for their day. The book contains a series of three lectures on cerebral membranes, tumors, and abscesses which he prepared for the Lettsomian lectures of the Medical Society of London in 1906.
