"The National Hospital for the Relief and Cure of Paralysis and Epilepsy, as it was first named, was founded in November 1959, and opened its doors for business in 1860 as the first specialist neurological hospital in the world. It quickly gained a reputation as the 'mecca of neurology' and soon became a place of pilgrimage for neurologists from many countries. This book celebrates the fluctuating fortunes, and fascinating history from foundation to eventual amalgamation of the National Hospital with University College Hospital in 1996, and its Institute of Neurology with University College London in 1997"--
