tables of cases appended to each division of the 

 subject must have cost the author a prodigious 

 amount of labor and research, but they constitute 

 one of the most valuable features of the book, 

 especially for reference in medico-legal trials. 



The satisfaction expressed with the first portion 

 of this work is in no wise lessened by a perusal of 

 the second volume. We find it characterized by 

 the same fulness of detail and clearness of ex- 

 pression which we had occasion so highly to com- 

 mend in our former notice, and which render it so 

 valuable to the medical jurist. The copious

TAYLOR, ALFRED S., M. D., 



Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence and Chemistry in Guy's Hospital, London. 

 A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence. Eighth American from the tenth Lon- 

 don edition, thoroughly revised and rewritten. Edited by JOHN J. KEESE, M. D., Professor 

 of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology in the University of Pennsylvania. In one 

 large octavo volume of 937 pages, with 70 illustrations. Cloth, $5.00 ; leather, $6.00 ; half 

 Russia, raised bands, $6.50. 



The American editions of this standard manual 

 have for a long time laid claim to the attention of 

 the profession in this country; and the eighth 

 comes before us as embodying the latest thoughts 

 and emendations of Dr. Taylor upon the subject 

 to which he devoted his life with an assiduity and 

 success which made him facile princeps among 

 English writers on medical jurisprudence. Both 

 the author and the book have made a mark too 

 deep to be affected by criticism, whether it be 

 censure or praise. In this case, however, we should 



only have to seek for laudatory terms. American 

 Journal of the Medical Sciences, Jan. 1881. 



This celebrated work has been the standard au- 

 thority in its department for thirty-seven years, 

 both in England and America, in both the profes- 

 sions which it concerns, and it is improbable that 

 it will be superseded in many years. The work is 

 simply indispensable to every physician, and nearly 

 so to every liberally-educated lawyer, and we 

 heartily commend the present edition to both pro- 

 fessions. Albany Law Journal, March 26, 1881.

For years Dr. Taylor was the highest authority 

 in England upon the subject to which he gave 

 especial attention. His experience was vast, his 

 judgment excellent, and his skill beyond cavil. It 

 is therefore well that the work of one who, as Dr. 

 Stevenson, says, had an "enormous grasp of all

The author is pre-eminently a scholar. He takes 

 up every topic allied with the leading theme, and 

 traces it out to the minutest detail with a wealth
