Excerpt from A Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity
Few, probably, whose attention has not been particularly directed to the subject, are aware, how far the condition of the law relative to in sanity is behind the present state of our know ledge concerning that disease. While so much has been done, within a comparatively short period, to promote the comfort of the insane, and so much improvement has been effected in the methods of treating their disorder, as to have deprived it of half its terrors, it is both a curious and a'melancholy fact, that so little has been accomplished towards regulating their personal and social rights, by more correct and enlightened principles of jurisprudence. While nations are vying with one another in the excellence of their public establishments for the accommodation of this unfortunate class of our fellow-men, and physicians are every year publishing some instance of an unexampled proportion of cures, we re main perfectly satisfied with the wisdom of our predecessors in everything relative to their legal relations. This, no doubt, is mainly - the fault of medical men themselves, who have neglected to obtain for the results of their researches, that influence on the law of insanity, which they have exerted on its pathology and therapeutics. In general treatises on legal medicine, this branch of it has always received a share of atten.
