Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence
Since the issuance of the previous edition a strong impulse has been given to Forensic Medicine, by the International Congress of Medical Jurisprudence, by the Congress of Medical Jurisprudence of New York, 1895, and also by the special development of medico-legal Surgery in various societies. The present time, therefore, is most auspicious for the appearance of this new edition, and it is fortunate that the demand for it comes at a time when these important advances can be represented. The increasing frequency of damage cases renders this department of medico-legal Surgery of growing importance.
The eleventh American edition included the admirable work with which Dr. Thomas Stevenson had enriched the twelfth English edi tion, and was a thorough revision of all previous American and Eng lish editions. This present issue aims to continue this work along the same lines to the present date.
