About The Book -: This book comes from the reflections and experience of more than forty years spent in court. Aside from the practice of my profession, the topics. Naturally in a book of this sort there are many reference to the human mind and its activities. In most books, whether scientific not, the mind has generally been more closely associated with the brain than any other portion of the body. As a rule I have assumed that this view of mind and brain is correct.Whether the brain is like a telephone exchange and is only concerned With automatically receiving and sending out messages to the different parts of the body, or whether it registers impressions and compares them and is the seat of consciousness and thought, is not important in this discussion. Whatever mind may be, or through whatever part of the human system it may function, can make no difference. The physical origin of such abnormalities of the Mind as are called “criminal” is a comparatively new idea. The whole subject has long been dealt with from the standpoint of metaphysics. Man has slowly banished chance from the material world and left behaviour alone outside the realm of cause and effect. It has not been long since insanity was treated as a moral defect. It is now universally accepted as a functional defect of the human structure in its relation to environment.
