Excerpt from The Law of Insanity in Its Application to the Civil Rights and Capacities and Criminal Responsibility of the Citizen
Shelford, and, especially, by the later works of Mr. Pope and Mr. Elmer.
It would be impossible to collate, within the limits of, an ordinary treatise, the statutes of the different states upon the subject of insanity; and were such a collation possible, it would not be desirable, since the local law is always easily accessible to the American practitioner, and the existing statutes are being modified constantly by fresh legislative enactments. It is believed, however, that the American statute law will be found cited wherever such citation is of value as illustrating the text, or where the statute has been made the subject of judicial comment or interpretation. The English Lunacy Laws, as being often referred to, both in the present work and in judicial decisions, and not easily accessible to most American lawyers and students, are printed as an appendix to the volume.
