Georget died at the age of 31. He was, by all reports, Esquirol's favorite student. In his brief career he introduced an intriguing new concept, i.e., mental illness was one manifestation of an underlying brain disorder. As a physician he felt that he encountered the ailment at different stages of its presentation. He was, according to Clarke & Jacyna, one of the handful of physicians of the day to articulate and present a profound conceptual opposition to Gall's thesis of cerebral localization. In all, an important book. Semelaigne I, 189 - 196; Norman I, #596; Zilboorg & Henry, pp. 392 - 394.
