Lectures on Human and Animal Psychology
Wilhelm Wundt
Wundt, W. Lectures on Human and Animal Psychology. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Macmillan, 1894
Wilhelm Wundt is known today as one of the founding figures of modern psychology. The first person to ever call himself a Psychologist, he is also widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology", having established the first laboratory in the world dedicated to psychological research. This paved the way for psychology as an independent field of study. A prolific writer, this title contains 30 lectures on human and animal psychology given in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

On Aphasia, or Loss of Speech
Frederick Bateman
Batemen, F. On aphasia, or loss of speech, and the localization of the faculty of articulate language. 1890
"One of the first books dedicated exclusively to aphasia was published in 1879 by Frederic Bateman (1824-1904) [...] In Bateman's exemplarily systematic work altogether 72 cases (already published and his own) are discussed in order to clarify the question of localization of speech. [...] Bateman is the first to clearly propose that aphasia could be described in terms of syndromes and the probability that each individual with aphasia has a unique pattern of symptoms. A range of symptoms and features of aphasia are presented in detail and with examples by Bateman [...] The presentation is impressive from a modern perspective and only disorders of language comprehension and syntax are missing from his extensive surgery." (Juergen Tesak and Chris Code: "Milestones in the History of Aphasia. Theories and Protagonists", 2008, p. 63).

Untersuchungen uber die Localisation der Functionen in der Grosshirnrinde des Menschen
Sigmund Exner
Exner, S. Untersuchungen uber die Localisation der Functionen in der Grosshirnrinde des Menschen, 1881
This work is an attempt to determine the functions of different parts of the cerebral hemispheres by an examination of the facts of disease alone, independently of a physiological experiment. The difficulties which have to be encountered in the solution of the problem by this method are great, and the sources of fallacy numerous. The facts, collected as they must be from the most diverse sources, are not all of the same value, and errors of observation on the score of inaccuracy or incompleteness have to be taken into account and allowed for. The experiments of disease are as a rule rude, and the conditions highly complex. Certain parts of the brain are more liable to disease than others, and one hemisphere more than the other. Besides the lesion actually discovered after death, there may be others not discovered or not discoverable by our present methods, either coincident merely or indirectly connected with the visible lesion; for morbid anatomy and morbid physiology are by no means coextensive. Exactly symmetrical bilateral lesions are extremely rare in disease, and yet such facts are absolutely necessary for the decision of many important questions. --Nature 25, 214–215 (1882)

The Modes of Origin of Lowest Organisms
Charlton Bastian
Bastian, Ch. The modes of origin of lowest organisms : including a discussion of the experiments of M. Pasteur, and a reply to some statements by Professors Huxley and Tyndall. London: Macmillan, 1871
This work is an account of experiments conducted by Henry Charlton Bastian to challenge the doctrine of Louis Pasteur which states that those organisms which serve to initiate the fermentative modifications have been derived from a multitudinous army of universal atmospheric germs, which are always prepared, in number and kind suitable for every emergency. It was his attempt at presenting the errors of reasoning M. Pasteur had fallen, and also how his findings were capable of being reversed by the employment of various experimental materials, and methods. Bastian was an advocate of the doctrine of archebiosis and believed that he witnessed the spontaneous generation of living organisms out of non-living matter under his microscope. Contents Include Homogenetic Mode of Origin of Bacteria and Torulae Heterogenetic Mode of Origin of Bacteria and of Torulae Origin of Bacteria and of Torulæ by Archebiosis Comparative Experiments. - Publisher
