The Medical and Legal Relations of Madness is a book written by Joshua Burgess in 1858. The book delves into the topic of madness and explores the medical and legal relations associated with it. Burgess presents a cellular theory of the mind, nerve force, and vegetative vital force, which he believes are the underlying causes of madness. He argues that the mind is made up of cells, and that these cells are responsible for the different mental states that a person experiences. Burgess also discusses the legal implications of madness, including the various legal definitions of insanity and the role of the legal system in dealing with mentally ill individuals. The book is a fascinating exploration of the medical and legal aspects of madness, and provides valuable insights into the way that society has viewed and treated mental illness throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
