Présentation de l'éditeur

JtlRISPRUDENCE The connection between Medicine and Legislation had been perceived long before it was considered as a peculiar branch of study, or had even obtained a distinctive appellation. Since its importance has been recognised, it is known in Germany, the country in which it took its rise, by the name of State Medicine ;in Italy and in France it is termed Legal Medicine ;and with us it is usually denominated Medical Jurisprudence, or Forensic Medicine. It is founded on the relations which ought to subsist between human nature and social institutions, and consists in the application of the principles of medical science to the administration of justice, and to the preservation of the public health. I ts nature and objects will be best elucidated by a sketch of its progress. history of legal medicine. Notwithstanding the importance of the objects which it embraces, and their intimate relation to the interests of society, the true origin of Medical Jurisprudence is of comparatively recent date.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Outlines of Dr. Traill was printed from his Dissertation on Medical Jurisprudence, in the seventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, for the use of his pupils, in the celebrated Medical School, of which he is one of the distinguished teachers. This edition having been exhausted, the repeated demands for a new and enlarged edition have given rise to the present publication. Not only does the work contain an epitome of the leading general principles of Medical jurisprudence, but also of Medical Police. I t, therefore, cannot fail to be a useful manual of reference, both to the physician and the lawyer; and a valuable accompaniment to the medical student. The American Editor has restricted himself to the correction of errors, and to the adding of such notes as appeared to him to throw additional light on the topics discussed in the text. His additions are generally in notes, and are enclosed in brackets. Philadelphia, June 5, 1841.
