Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1884-85, Vol. 41 Heredity is one of the indisputable facts in nature It confronts us at the outset, in the study of natural science, medicine and jurisprudence, and bears upon the most important subjects connected with social life, Whether viewed from a scientific or practical stand point. In his First Principles Herbert Spencer states the general law of heredity as follows: Understood in its entirety the law is that each plant or animal produces others of like kind with itself. Herbert Spencer's dictum amounts really to saying that every organism tends to.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1868-9, Vol. 25 The whole life of the defendant was retraced with much particularity on both issues. The preliminary issue was tried in April, 1865, in the county where the Offence was committed, and occupied five days. The difficulty of Obtaining an unbiased jury on that occa sion, grew, in consequence of the increased publicity and agitation of the matter, into an impossibility of doing so on the trial of the main issue, compounded of both the guilt and the insanity. To try this, the whole panel Of jurors summoned was first exhausted, and then the whole jury list of the county; and out of the whole three hundred or thereabouts, not twelve men could be found, who were not excluded either by peremptory challenges, or for confessed or presumed bias. It was therefore determined to try the case in Cortland county. Both trials were before Justice Mason, of the Supreme Court, now of the Court of Appeals.

The defence was man aged by Mr. Tremaine as leading counsel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
