    present statute law to a rigorous medico-legal analysis, and to place its provisions in contrast with those of the Penal Code of France. From this analysis, I think it will be obvious, that unless a due regard be had to the principles of Medicine in the framing of these statutes, it is impossible that our Criminal Law can be rendered that which it ought to be,—equable in its provisions, effective in its operation, and universally applicable to the repression of crime. Cambndge Place, Regent's Park, Jan. '27th, 1836.
