Sir James Crichton-Browne

George K York   David A Steinberg

The Såa Institute, 21201 Ostrom Road, Fiddletown, CA 95629, USA

In his biographical note on Sir James Crichton-Browne (September 2005 JRSM1), Dr E H Jellinek incorrectly states that John Hughlings Jackson was apprenticed to Thomas Laycock. In fact, Hughlings Jackson was apprenticed to Mr William Charles Anderson, a prosperous physician in the city of York.2 Laycock was Lecturer at the York Medical School, where he taught Hughlings Jackson the principles and practice of medicine. It was as a medical student that Hughlings Jackson was first exposed to Laycock's ideas about the reflex function of the brain, concepts that had an important influence on Jacksonian neurology.3
