The physician and author John Ayrton Paris (1785 1856), several of
whose other medical and popular works have been reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection, and his co-author J. S. M. Fonblanque
(1787 1865) published this three-volume work in 1823. It remained
almost the only work on the topic of medical jurisprudence for many
years. The authors define the term as 'a science by which medicine,
and its collateral branches, are made subservient to the
construction, elucidation, and administration of the laws; and to
the preservation of public health'. Volume 1 considers the context:
the professional colleges and their powers and privileges, and
historical cases involving a medical practitioner. It also deals
with areas of the law where medical evidence may be needed:
matrimonial and childbirth issues; insanity; public nuisance (e.g.
pollution); and the adulteration of food. The volume ends with the
first part of a consideration of unnatural death."
