Excerpt from Text-Book of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology
This Text-book has been written more particularly to meet the wants of students of Legal Medicine. The author is aware that the field has already been occupied by able and popular treatises on medical jurisprudence, well known to the professions of medicine and law; but an experience of over twenty years, as a public teacher of this branch of science, has convinced him that students in both these professions, who desire to acquire a knowledge of medical jurisprudence, are too often deterred from their purpose by being confronted by the ponderous works of recognized masters, extending to three, and even six large octavo volumes.
To avoid the above objection, the author of the present work has endeavored to condense into a handy volume all the essentials of the science, and to present the various topics in a simple and familiar style, giving greater prominence, of course, to those of the greatest practical importance.
The subject of Toxicology occupies, as was proper, a considerable space, and has been carefully prepared; special attention being bestowed upon the most important poisons - such as Arsenic, Strychnine, Opium, Prussic Acid, etc.
