Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Legal Medicine, Vol. 1 It is not without a feeling of the most solemn responsibility that I have undertaken a task of which this volume is the first instalment. I use the words "solemn responsibility" advisedly. For if anything I write should hereafter he quoted to condemn the innocent or to gain a verdict against right, then indeed most truly could I wish the book had remained unwritten. Some years ago, when engaged, with one prematurely lost to our profession, in the preparation of "A Handybook of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology," I determined that I would one day attempt a more or less complete treatise on Legal Medicine. To the fulfilment of that design, the spare hours of a somewhat busy life have been devoted. Two things, it was evident, had to be done if such a work was to be of any special value to the lawyer and physician: - First, and before a word could be written, it was necessary to collate from English and foreign literature all recorded cases having reference to the various subjects under consideration. The numerous errors that had crept into the published records, rendered it impossible to guarantee accuracy without consulting the original reports. It was a matter of no small difficulty to determine how best to utilize the enormous mass of material thus collated. Experience had taught that to quote long cases in the text in illustration of one single point, was certain to disturb the continuity of the argument, by the inevitable introduction (in order to render the history complete) of numerous details, irrelevant to the subject under consideration. I decided therefore to print the cases at the end of the chapter they served to illustrate, and to refer to them in the text by number only.
