MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE. Sixth American, from the eighth 



and revised London edition. With Notes and References to American Decisions, by CLE- 

 MENT B. PENROSE, of the Philadelphia Bar. In one large octavo volume of 776 pages, 

 extra cloth, $4 50 ; leather, $5 50. (Now Ready.) 



Considerable additions have been made by the editor to this edition, comprising some important 

 sections from the author's larger work, " The Principles and Practice of Medical Jurisprudence," 

 as well as references to American law and practice. The notes of the former editor, Dr. Harts- 

 home, have likewise been retained, and the whole is presented as fully worthy to maintain the 

 distinguished position which the work has acquired as a leading text-book and authority on the 

 subject. 



We have the more pleasure in expressing our 

 hea,rty coincidence with the general verdict of the 

 two professions, medical and legal, in favor of this 

 admirable treatise, which, like the one just men- 

 tioned, although printed in the manual form, is really 

 the most elaborate work on the subject that our lite- 

 rature possesses, and will unquestionably hold its 

 ground as the standard of medical jurisprudence in 

 this country so long as it shall be kept by its author 

 so completely up to the mark asit now is. The Brit- 

 ish and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



Without materially increasing the bulk of this most 

 admirable work, we have a new edition brought close 

 up to the present day, with old errors removed and 

 very many new discoveries added. This is a work 

 well worthy the high position of its author, and a 

 fair representative and exponent of the state of foren- 

 sic medicine in this country, second to none, we ven- 

 ture to say, in the world. To attain this every chapter 

 has undergone a close revision, and many new cases 

 and observations have been added; at the same time 

 no extensive changes have been made because un- 

 called for. It would be a waste of time to attempt 

 any description of this work, which must have found 

 its way to the bookshelf of almost every practitioner 

 in the kingdom ; those who have it not should pos- 

 sess it forthwith. There is no more useful work of 

 reference on this or any subject. London Medical 

 Review. 



Taylor's Medical Jurisprudence has been the text- 

 book in our colleges for years, and the present edi- 

 tion, with the valuable additions made by the Ameri- 

 can editor, reuder it the most standard work of the 

 day, on the peculiar province of medicine on which 

 it treats. The American editor, Dr. Hartshorne, has 

 done his duty to the text, and, upon the whole, we 

 cannot but consider this volume the best and richest 

 treatise on medical jurisprudence in our language. 

 Brit. Am. Med. Journal. 



The presentation to the profession of a new and im- 

 pi^oved edition of this well-known and deservedly 

 popular work cannot be looked upon otherwise than 

 as a subject of congratulation. The book has many 

 merits. It is brief, it is comprehensive ; it treats in a 

 clear and satisfactory manner upon a large number 

 of medico-legal subjects, the most interesting and im- 

 portant that can be presented to the attention of the 

 physician, and the completeness of the work is en- 

 hanced, especially to the American reader, by the 

 appropriate though pot very copious notes and re- 

 ferences to recent American cases, by Dr. Hartshorne. 

 Chicago Med. Jour. , 



We need hardly say that this work is quite beyond 

 the pale of criticism, and that all we have to do is to 

 congratulate the profession on having its contents 

 again laid before them, in 18(51, in a thoroughly re- 

 vised condition. British Med. Journal.

Of the merits of Dr. Winslow's treatise the profes- 

 sion has sutliciently judged. It has taken its place in 

 the front rank of the works upon the special depart- 

 ment of practical medicine to which it periains. 

 Cincinnati Journal of Medicine, March, 1866. 



It is an interesting volume that will amply repay 

 for a careful perusal by all intelligent readers. 

 Chicago Med. Examiner, Feb. 1866. 



A work which, like the present, will largely aid 

 the practitioner in recognizing and arresting the first 

 insidious advances of cerebral and mental disease, is 

 one of immense practical value, and demands earnest 

 attention and diligent study on the part of all who 

 have embraced the medical profession, and have 

 thereby undertaken responsibilities in which the 

 welfare and happiness of individuals and families 

 are largely involved. We shall therefore close this 

 brief and necessarily very imperfect notice of Dr. 

 Winslow's great aud classical work by expressing 



our conviction that it is long since so important and 

 beautifully written a volume has issued from the 

 British medical press. The details of the manage- 

 ment of confirmed cases of insanity more nearly in- 

 terest those who have made mental diseases their 

 special study; but Dr. Winslow's masterly exposi- 

 tion of the early symptoms, and hi.s graphic descrip- 

 tions of tlio, insidious advances of incipient insanity, 

 toge; her with his judicious observations on the treat- 

 ment ol' disorders of the mind, should, we repeat, be 

 carefully studied by all who have undertaken the 

 responsibilities of medical practice. Dublin Medical 

 Press. 



It is the most Interesting as well as valuable book 

 that we have seen for a long time. It is truly fasci- 

 nating. Am. Jour. Med. Sciences. 



Dr. Winslow's work will undoubtedly occupy an 

 unique position in the medico-psychological litera- 

 ture of this country. London Med. Review.
