    PREFACE. The second edition of this, standard work having been out of print for some years, and the large demand for it still con- tinuing, opportunity has been taken in preparing this third edition to recast the work in a form which, it is hoped, will render it still more helpful. Notwithstanding that a very large amount of new matter and most of the remaining cases from Chevers’ pioneer work, and from Coul Mackenzie s monogiaph have been added along with several new illustrations, it has yet been possible by the use of smaller type to keep the book with its illustrative cases, about five hundred in number, within the compass of one volume of somewhat similar size to the last. The Tndex also has been consideiably extended. The work is offered as a complete eximsition of the Indian Medical Jurisprudence of to-day, as far as is possible ; and it is intended not only as a text-book for civil surgeons and medical students in India, but also as a work of reference for magis- trates, police-officers, lawyers and judges throughout India. For much valuable assistance in its preparation I have great pleasure in expressing my indebtedness to several friends, and in particular to Dr. Arthur Powell, Surgeon to the Coroner of Bombay. L. A.
