Abstract
Hughlings Jackson devoted his 1887 presidential address to the Medical Society of London to the psychology of joking. Based on an analysis of that lecture, York offers insights into Hughlings Jackson’s personality and ideas about neurophysiology, and comments on the continuing utility of Hughlings Jackson’s views on humour for physicians and patients.
