Letters from C. S. Sherrington, F. R. S., to Angelo Ruffini Between 1896 And 1903

Through the great kindness of Professor Guiseppe Moruzzi I learned of the valuable collection of Sherrington’s letters that were in the possession of Professor Gastone Lambertini, who was a distinguished pupil of Professor Ruffini’s. Professor Lambertini has generously provided me with copies of sixteen letters of Sherrington’s from 1896-1903. These letters are of remarkable interest because they tell a wonderful story of the scientific associations between investigators in different countries. They provide a valuable documentation of the true spirit of science as it was practised around the turn of the century. I am indebted to Professor Lambertini for preparing specially for this publication a brief biographical sketch of Professor Angelo Ruffini which now follows.
