various forms with special reference
to their juridical importance.
The third part is devoted exclusively to medico-legal questions, to an
examination of the various forms of violent death: by heat, electricity,
starvation, hanging, strangulation, asphyxia, and poisoning, the
symptoms which distinguish each type being carefully defined. This is
followed by a study on wounds produced by firearms, pointed weapons or
blades, on living and dead bodies, in order to determine the exact
situation of the wound and the manner in which it has been inflicted.
Finally, we have an examination of the different forms of poisoning.
A separate lecture treats of sexual psychopathy and offences against
morality; and other lectures discuss questions of legal obstetrics:
abortion, infanticide, and matrimonial questions.

_Recent Discoveries in Psychiatry and Criminal Anthropology and the
Practical Application of these Sciences_
This volume was published in 1893. It contains a complete summary of the
latest research of criminologists in jurisprudence, psychiatry, and
anthropology, during the interval between the publication of the fifth
and that of the last edition of Prof. Lombroso's _Criminal Man_.
The research includes anthropological discoveries in the skull,
skeleton, internal organs, and brains of criminals, as well as others of
a biological and functional nature. They are followed by a study of the
methods to be employed for the cure and punishment of crime.
