Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Practice of Forensic Medicine, Vol. 1: Based Upon Personal Experience
And yet, for many a day, nay, even yet the most recent text books for medical experts contain the most exhaustive discussions upon the definitions, (zolus, 0249765, &c., matters which lie altogether beyond the province of medicine, with which the physician has nothing to do, least of all in his forensic capacity. This erroneous blending of medical and legal ideas and objects is also combined with another greater and more consequential error in the practice of forensic medicine. I mean the tendency to endeavour to obtain strict apodictical proof, such as was required by the practice of the older penal courts, founded upon the ancient theory of evidence in the science of penal law, with which juridical medicine has most unseemlily identified herself.
