  • Notes: first edition. "... up to his time the most extensive treatise on the 'natural, social, moral, and religious' aspects of suicide the risk of which the psychiatrist most continually bear in mind. From it is taken his historical survey showing the roots of modern legal attitudes and why Coroners still prefer the verdict of 'accidental death' even to 'suicide while of unsound mind' "--Hunter & Macalpine, page 528.
