Excerpt from Sensation and Pain

The next figure (fig. 2) represents the nervous system of the Ascidian. There is a single nerve centre with two or three pairs of nerves communi cating with the mouth, vent and body of the crea ture. Now if these nerve-tracts be straightened out, we should have an arrangement of the nervous system almost as simple as the ideal one represented in figure I.

Excerpt from Sensation and Pain

The limits of a single lecture are too small to give any adequate idea of the complicated structures and processes by which we experience what we call sensation and pain. But my primary object being to obtain some practical deductions from certain basic facts connected with the phenomena of sensation and pain, rather than to entertain you with a detailed exposition of the subject, I must beg your attention while I give, as necessary to a proper understanding of conclusions which will be ultimately arrived at, a brief outline of some of the main and primary facts of nerve-structure and nervous action. In doing this, I shall not enter any debatable ground, as between physiologists and metaphysicians, but shall simply lead you a little way over a very common road.
