The author Of this work is one Of the most dis
! tinguished Professors of Forensic Medicine in
| Great Britain, and he has aimed to present
| clearly and concisey as possible, all the important
| principles and facts of medical Jurisprudence,
| lleved of everything not belonging immediately to
the subject, and fitted at tor text book for
| Students, and mammal tor legal and medical prac.
titioners. His very difficult task seems to have
| been executed with great ability and discretion
| The style and arrangement of the work are simple
and lucid, and all details not essential to the under
| standing OF the subject have been omitted. The
work has been universally regarded, both in Eu-
rope and America as the best OF its kind ever pub
| iished, and the American edition has done good
service to the profession in this country by causing
| TO be reprinted, and especially by the full and
/ valuable additions which he has made. He has
thus adapted it admirably to the peculiar laws and
institutions OF this country, and of course, for Ame
tlcan students and readers, materially enhanced
| its value.
The work is issued in large and very hand
somey printed octave volume, and forms most
important accession to the list of standard medical
works which'the Harpers have recently issued -
All persons, both at home and abroad, will receive
additional confirmation OF Its authentic and stan
dard character, from the statement in the preface
hat the counsel OF Chancellor Kent has been toll

| authority.
