[97] Daniel: “Bibl. d. Staatsarznk.,” Halle, 1784, No. 107, mentions:
“E. Prat, Rationarium chirurgicum, oder nothwendiges Handbuch des
Wundarztes, wie er Bericht an die Obrigkeit thun soll u. s. w., aus
dem Engl.,” Hamb., 1684. 4, 690. 8. The same title is reproduced by
Wildberg (No. 239) in 1819, and the edition of 1684 is mentioned by
Ploucquet, “Initia” (1803), Suppl. iv., 36, and “Litt. med. dig.”
(1809), iii., 54, the name of the author being given as “Pratt
(Elias).” This may be an early work by Ellis Pratt, but we can
find no mention of it elsewhere. In the years 1734, 1761, and 1787
dissertations on abortion were defended at Edinburgh by Arnot, Harris,
and Murray. Three treatises on death from suffocation by Goodwyn,
Frank, and Coleman appeared in 1788-91. In 1788 S. Farr published at
London his “Elements of Medical Jurisprudence,” to which Percival
(“Med. Ethics,” Oxford, 1849, p. 102) justly refers as “a valuable
epitome of S. F. Faselii’s “Elementa Medicinæ Forensis [Regiom., 4to,
1787], in English by Dr. Farr.”
[98] “Med. Jur.,” iii., p. 226 _seq._ Report that Joseph Lane died of
poison (1623). Report that Sir James Standsfield was strangled and not
drowned, with account of autopsy (1687). Also extracts from the medical
evidence in the cases of Spencer Cowper (from 13 Howell’s “State
Trials”); Mary Blandy (Oxford, 1752); John Donellan (Warwick, 1781);
and R. S. Donnall (Launceston, 1817).

[101] In the preface Dr. Percival says: “This work was originally
entitled ‘Medical Jurisprudence,’ but some friends having objected
to the term _Jurisprudence_ it has been changed to _Ethics_.” An
unfinished and unpublished edition, written prior to 1794 and
containing Chapter IV., was printed about 1800 (see Editor’s Preface,
p. 2, and note, Author’s Preface, pp. 25, 26, ed. Oxford, 1849).

pp., 8vo, London, 1816, also in Th. Cooper’s “Tracts on Med. Jur.,”
Phila., 1819. In the preface the author refers to the lectures of Prof.
Duncan.
[103] This excellent work (“The Principles of Forensic Medicine”) went
through three editions in six years. Dr. Smith, who was a teacher of
medical jurisprudence in the Royal Institution, Westminster Hospital,
and University of London, and also published a number of papers in
the Edinb. M. and S. Jour., and “Hints for the Examination of Medical
Witnesses,” Lond., 1829, died at the age of forty-one in 1833, after
fifteen months’ imprisonment in a debtors’ prison.
