| Abstract
|
:
|
So much has been written about the scientific contributions of Sherrington that the man himself, and his thoughts, have been overshadowed. He left no autobiographical material except the few pages of reminiscences entitled "Mar- ginalia", an essay written in honour of Charles Singer (1953).
