Excerpt from A Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity In France, M. Georget has cultivated this field of inquiry with a success proportioned to his indefatigable zeal and diligence, and his various writings will ever be resorted to by future inquirers, as they have been by the author of the present work, as to a fund of original and interesting in formation. Having long been devoted to the study of insanity, and especially to the observation of the manners and character of the insane, he was peculiarly well quali fied to treat this subject in a spirit corresponding to the present condition of the science. His work entitled, Des Maladies mentales, considérées dans leurs rapports avec la legislation civile cl criminelle, is an admirable man ual, and though but a humble brochure, it yet abounds with valuable information and is pervaded by sound and philosophical views. In his Examen médical des procés criminels des nommés Léger, Feldtman, Lecoufie, and his Discussion médico-légale sur la Folie, as well as a sequel to the last, entitled, Nouvelle discussion médico-légale sur la Folie, he has collected accounts of numerous criminal trials, in which insanity was pleaded in defence of the accused, and has taken the occasion to discuss the many important questions to which they give rise. In the course of these discussions there is scarcely a dark or disputed point in the whole range of the subject, which he has not examined with great ability, and if he has not always settled them satisfactorily to the unpreju diced inquirer, he has at least afforded him the means of forming more clear and definite views.
