Crown 8vo., with 104 FELLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF LONDON LECTURER ON MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE AND ON CHEMISTRY AT GUY'S HOSPITAL [1051 723 1886 PREFACE то THE ELEVENTH EDITION. THE tenth edition of this well-known work appeared a few weeks before the death of its illustrious author. Though the Manual has had several rivals, it has, nevertheless, held its own; and the tenth edition has been for some time exhausted. Dr. Taylor's experience as a medical jurist was unequalled in this country; and the Manual, like all his works, is written in his usual lucid style. In editing the work, I have condensed many passages, without, as I trust, detracting from their clearness and fulness; others, which had become obsolete, I have omitted; and much additional matter has been introduced, so as to make the work fairly representative of our existing knowledge of the subject.
