IN preparing for the press this seventh American edition of the "Manual of Medical Jurisprudence" the editor has, through the courtesy of Dr. Taylor, enjoyed the very great advantage of consulting the sheets of the new edition of the author's larger work, "The Principles and Practice of Medical Jurisprudence," which is now ready for publication in London. This has enabled him to introduce the author's latest views upon the various topics discussed, which are believed to bring the work fully up to the present time. The notes of the former editor, Dr. Hartshorne, as also the numerous valuable references to American practice and decisions by his successor, Mr. Penrose, have been retained, with but few slight exceptions: they will be found inclosed in brackets, distinguished by the letters [H.] and [P.]. The additions made by the present editor, from the material at his command, amount to about one hundred pages; and his own notes are designated by the letter [R.]. Several subjects not treated of in the former edition have been noticed in the present one; and the work it is hoped will be found to merit a continuance of the confidence which it has so long enjoyed as a standard authority. PHILADELPHIA, September, 1873. |
