Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter to the Lord Chancellor: On the Nature and Interpretation of Unsoundness of Mind, and Imbecility of Intellect"" is a book written by John Haslam in 1823. The book discusses the concepts of unsoundness of mind and imbecility of intellect, and their interpretation in legal cases. Haslam argues that a clear definition of these concepts is necessary in order to properly assess the mental state of individuals in legal cases, such as those involving criminal responsibility or the management of estates. He also discusses the different causes of unsoundness of mind and imbecility of intellect, and how they can be identified and diagnosed.The book is written in a clear and concise style, and provides valuable insights into the legal and medical aspects of mental health. It is a useful resource for anyone interested in the history of mental health and the legal system, and for those working in the field of mental health today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
