Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This early discourse primarily on medical jurisprudence or forensic or legal medicine, makes for fascinating reading by students of law or medicine. Some of the subjects covered are: signs of death; autopsies; medico-legal definitions of wounds and blood stains; death from burns or suffocation; and rape. Separate, less detailed parts deal with insanity and toxicology.
