Cushing delivered the three papers in this book as the Cameron Prize Lectures at the University of Edinburgh in October 1925. The three lectures were: 1) "The third circulation and its channels," 2) "The pituitary gland as now known," and 3) "Intracranial tumours and the surgeon." Very little is known about the founder of these lectures, Andrew Robertson Cameron. He was born in Torland, Aberdeenshire, and completed his medical studies at Edinburgh in 1861. He emigrated to Australia, settled in New South Wales, and died there in 1878.
