In 1886, he published a new edition, considerably expanded and reviewed. 

His second book was published two years later, ''The Localization of Brain Disease''<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Localisation-Cerebral-Gulstonian-Lectures-Physicians/dp/B0198NDMRC |title= The Localisation of Cerebral Disease, Being the Gulstonian Lectures of the Royal College of Physicians for 1878 |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= Amazon |publisher= |access-date= April 28, 2025|quote=}}</ref> It had as its subject the clinical applications of cortical localization. 

Some of his speeches were also published.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tabes-Dorsalis-Lumleian-Delivered-Physicians/dp/134205959X/ref=sr_1_15?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Q33WliCoKcLAUZhgduTU0ZFFbC7R0vmLEY_NlwkNmilyo9cWnW-ZDw1NzOiE9IGkq5jDwN8KfexuJjn75AES22QbdrsBffmR3bSZyWt_8X2NeJsS2d0rsUlbz8ktfxbd4FMEnmln_0JfT6zdn2IvVEYEsiUC64ed1OvFd291XcKJFNQPHbEoyWpmuLldmttcSAt20gDnkiLD5De90nIwUhHBowju4R3-wGWTRsJ7EUM.AYhNaxvtE6Kgo_jklBpn-7mfncietLrqUQPsSt9ccfM&dib_tag=se&qid=1747046236&refinements=p_27%3ADavid+Ferrier&s=books&sr=1-15&text=David+Ferrier  |title= On Tabes Dorsalis: The Lumleian Lectures Delivered Before The Royal College of Physicians, London, March, 1906 |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= Amazon |publisher= |access-date= April 28, 2025|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.abebooks.co.uk/first-edition/Heart-Nervous-System-Ferrier-David-London/30952802628/bd  |title= The Heart and the Nervous System |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= ABE Books |publisher= |access-date= April 28, 2025|quote=}}</ref> 

Ferrier was one of the founders of the journal [[Brain (journal)|''Brain'']],<ref name=Lance />, together with his friends Hughlings Jackson and Crichton-Browne. The journal was dedicated to the interaction between experimental and clinical neurology and is still published today. In 1878 Ferrier delivered the [[Goulstonian Lecture]]<ref name=WA>{{cite web |url= http://www.wakefieldasylum.co.uk/insight/medical-officers/  |title= Medical Officers |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= Wakefield Asylum |publisher= |access-date= April 28, 2025|quote=}}</ref> to the Royal College of Physicians on "The localisation of cerebral diseases".
