Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Criminal Responsibility of Lunatics: A Study in Comparative Law, Thesis Approved for the Degree of Doctor of Laws in the University of London The feud between medical men and lawyers in all questions concerning the criminal liability of lunatics is of old standing. More than one authority on either side has tried to bring about a reconciliation between the contending parties. But their endeavours have been crowned with very little success. For though it cannot be denied that the strife and warfare has of late lost much of its former bitterness, a modus vivendi satisfactory to both parties has not been found. Discouraged by such experiences, others have thought it well-nigh impossible to bridge over the gulf which in their opinion must ever separate the two hostile camps; they think that the visual angle from which the two professions look at the problem is too different to allow of a solution acceptable to both. I do not share this pessimistic view, nor the policy of the laisser faire which is its logical outcome. If all attempts hitherto made to bring the dispute to a peaceful ending have failed, and were doomed to failure from the very outset, the reason is not far to seek. Almost all the writers who have approached the investigation in a conciliatory spirit, have sought success by forsaking the claims of their own professional brethren and blindly recognising the opponents' claims; and surely deserters do not make good peace-makers. Yet in no other way could those writers hope to reach their goal. For how is the lawyer to distinguish between fact and hypothesis in the literature of psychological medicine?

Book Description
This book is an examination of the assassination of President William McKinley by Leon Czolgosz, an American-born purported anarchist. This work offers a new and different way to approach historical crime stories. Rather than accepting the idea that Czolgosz was inherently dangerous because of his ethnic background or his obscure political statements, Federman argues, rather, that political relations, historical events, and the developing discourses in the natural and social sciences toward normal and pathological behaviors structured the meaning of the assassination. Federman proposes there are six ways to view an assassin, each corresponding to a social science. Consequently, each chapter of this manuscript examines a social science and its relation to the assassination. Overall, there are three purposes to this work: One is to examine the rise of the social sciences at the time of the assassination. The second is to explore the historical and political understanding of political violence; and the third is to examine the meaning of legal responsibility.
