Abstract
The prominence which the question of the so-called puerperal insanity has lately attained through the medium of one of our law courts, in one of the most startling cases that have been tried form any years, is of itself sufficient warrant for now bringing it up for discussion, irrespective of its own special-interest on scientific grounds. It is, however, in its scientific aspect, rather than its legal bearing, that I purpose to present the subject to you, but I propose not to lose sight entirely of its legal interest.Keywords
