Book Description

Excerpt from The Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity The last words of a book are those which meet the reader's eye first. As that is the case, a preface generally says what the book is meant to be, and in how far the writer's intentions have been realised in the work. Most prefaces are apologies. This work on mental defects and diseases in their legal relations is intended as a practical treatise more complete and systematic than the chapters devoted to this subject in medico-legal text-books, or than those monographs on limited portions of it which have from time to time appeared.
