The first great monograph on homosexuality, by one of the pioneer sexologists. Tramslated into French in 1893 and into Italian in 1897, but not until 1931 into English. Judging from the relative paginations, this must be a translation of the original 1891 edition, for by the third & last German edition of 1899 the text had swollen from 296 pages to 650 pages. For some reason Krafft-Ebing's original foreword was not included in the English translation.
A physician-lawyer, Ordronaux was the first New York State commissioner in lunacy. "One of the best books of its time in the U.S. Most of Ordronaux's publications in medicine concerned mental diseases" [Nemec Highlights in Medicolegal Relations #442]. Contains four sections: I: Rights, Remedies, and Liabilities of Physicians (with a subchapter on superintendents of asylums for the insane); Medical Evidence; (with a full chapter on evidence in cases of alleged insanity); The Ethics of Medicine; The Jurisprudence of Pharmacy."The first genuine work on medical jurisprudence as distinguished from legal medicine" (David Kronick, Landmark Books in Legal Medicine, 1981).

An interesting letter in which Ray is inquiring of his correspondent about the particulars of a court case two years earlier where a monomaniac was introduced as a witness and discredited by Ray's correspondent. Ray writes that he wants to include the case in a work on medical jurisprudence he is writing (the great Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity, of course), but only imperfectly remembers the particulars of the case.Ranking with Kirkbride for importance in the history of American psychiatry, Ray founded and superintended the Butler Hospital in Rhode Island and was one of the thirteen founders in 1844 of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane, later to be renamed after World War I the American Psychiatric Association. Still the most important book in forensic psychiatry, Ray's 1838 Treatise was the second world class psychiatric book by an American, the first being Benjamin Rush's 1812 Treatise on the Diseases of the Mind. Ray also introduced the concept of mental hygiene into psychiatry and medicine with his 1863 book Mental Hygiene , the second book on the subject after William Sweetser's 1843 book of the same title.

OCLC records no copies of the English translation, 8 of the original Spanish: Yale & Yale Law, LC, Indiana, Harvard Law, UNC Chapel Hill, Univ of Pennsylvania, Univ of Wisconsin at Madison. A mostly psychiatric report on the inmates at the Los Teques Prison & Penitentiary for Women, State of Miranda. Rísquez was a psychiatrist. Judging from the description in OCLC, this is a report on the second group. Apparently another volume of 459 pages covered the first group.

A pioneer American neuropsychiatrist who studied with Meynert in Vienna 1873-76, Spitzka then began a general medical practice in New York, which after a few years he limited to nervous & mental diseases. In short order he acquired a nation-wide reputation as a consultant and a s a medico-legal expert in cases involving insanity and injury to the nervous system. From 1881 to 1884 he edited the American Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry. He was the only alienist to testify that Guiteau was insane at his trial for assassinating President Garfield. His 1883 textbook on insanity was the first extensive American treatise primarily devoted to psychiatric diagnosis.
