Armand Trousseau of Paris praised The Clinical Lectures of Robert James Graves (1796-1853). The Dublin physician's book never left Trousseau's study; he valued particularly 'the lectures which treat of paralysis'. These, he said, 'contain a complete doctrine', enlarging concepts introduced by Whytt and Procháska. Gowers (1902) and Kinnier Wilson (1954) credited Graves with an early account of peripheral neuritis; more recently Lawrence C. McHenry (1969) referred to him as the first to recognise that disease processes may affect the peripheral nerves. This and other contributions of Robert Graves to neurology are discussed against the contemporary framework appropriate to the bicentenary year.
巴黎的阿尔芒·特鲁索称赞了罗伯特·詹姆斯·格雷夫斯（1796 - 1853）的《临床讲座》。这位都柏林医生的著作从未离开过特鲁索的书房；他特别看重“论述麻痹的讲座”。他说，这些讲座“包含了完整的学说”，拓展了怀特和普罗查斯卡提出的概念。高尔斯（1902年）和金尼尔·威尔逊（1954年）认为格雷夫斯较早地描述了周围神经炎；最近，劳伦斯·C·麦克亨利（1969年）称他是第一个认识到疾病过程可能影响周围神经的人。本文结合适用于格雷夫斯诞辰二百周年的当代框架，讨论了罗伯特·格雷夫斯在神经学方面的这一贡献及其他贡献。
