MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.

The lectures on this branch show the aid which legislation
and the administration of the laws derive from medicine, and
consist chiefly in the application of the principles of medical
science to the elucidation and administration of the laws, and
the legal decisions in cases of insanity, every variety of mental
impairment, crime, &c. , &c.

Text-Books—the Professor's Outlines, and Beck or Taylor.
