The same title is reproduced by Wildberg (No. 239) in 1819, and the edition of 1684 is mentioned by Ploucquet, “Initia” (1803), Suppl. iv., 36, and “Litt. med. dig.” (1809), iii., 54, the name of the author being given as “Pratt (Elias).” This may be an early work by Ellis Pratt, but we can find no mention of it elsewhere. In the years 1734, 1761, and 1787 dissertations on abortion were defended at Edinburgh by Arnot, Harris, and Murray. Three treatises on death from suffocation by Goodwyn, Frank, and Coleman appeared in 1788-91. In 1788 S. Farr published at London his “Elements of Medical Jurisprudence,” to which Percival (“Med. Ethics,” Oxford, 1849, p. 102) justly refers as “a valuable epitome of S. F. Faselii’s “Elementa Medicinæ Forensis [Regiom., 4to, 1787], in English by Dr. Farr.” [98] “Med. Jur.,” iii., p. 226 _seq._ Report that Joseph Lane died of poison (1623). Report that Sir James Standsfield was strangled and not drowned, with account of autopsy (1687). Also extracts from the medical evidence in the cases of Spencer Cowper (from 13 Howell’s “State Trials”); Mary Blandy (Oxford, 1752); John Donellan (Warwick, 1781); and R. S. Donnall (Launceston, 1817). [99] “Heads of Lectures on Medical Jurisprudence, or the Institutiones Medicinæ legalis,” vi., 24 pp., 8vo, Edinb., 1792. [100] See Beck “Med.

[101] In the preface Dr. Percival says: “This work was originally entitled ‘Medical Jurisprudence,’ but some friends having objected to the term _Jurisprudence_ it has been changed to _Ethics_.” An unfinished and unpublished edition, written prior to 1794 and containing Chapter IV., was printed about 1800 (see Editor’s Preface, p. 2, and note, Author’s Preface, pp. 25, 26, ed. Oxford, 1849). [102] “An Epitome of Juridical or Forensic Medicine,” etc., viii., 199 pp., 8vo, London, 1816, also in Th. Cooper’s “Tracts on Med. Jur.,” Phila., 1819. In the preface the author refers to the lectures of Prof. Duncan. [103] This excellent work (“The Principles of Forensic Medicine”) went through three editions in six years. Dr. Smith, who was a teacher of medical jurisprudence in the Royal Institution, Westminster Hospital, and University of London, and also published a number of papers in the Edinb. M. and S. Jour., and “Hints for the Examination of Medical Witnesses,” Lond., 1829, died at the age of forty-one in 1833, after fifteen months’ imprisonment in a debtors’ prison. [104] “Med.
