Book Description
Excerpt from The Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity Having confined himself so exclusively to the principles and details of his own profession, the Author is not without hopes, that this may be found the best recommendation of his work to those engaged in the study and practice of the law. The arrangement adopted has unavoidably led to some repetition, but the Author is satisfied, from his experience in teaching, that it is the one by which correct notions of the various forms of unsoundness of mind, and of the medico-legal consequences that result therefrom, can be most easily obtained. The Author is fully aware of the great difficulty, as well as importance of the subject which he has attempted to treat; he is sensible of the imperfect manner in which he must have executed the task he has undertaken, and if he has altogether failed, some one better qualified may be induced to supply the want of such a work in British medi cal literature.
