Book Description
Excerpt from A Dissertation on Infanticide: In Its Relations to Physiology and Jurisprudence In aphysiological point of View, we should find it convenient to make. A distina. Tion between the destruction Of the life of a child before, and that committed after, its vital connexion with the mother' had ceased; and the acts alluded to might be termed, respectively, feticide and infantictde but such a distinction is not acknow ledged by the English laws. By our code Of jurisprudence, the destruction lof the life of a man, using the term in its generic sense, is regarded distinctly as it i§_efi'ected before, and as it is effected after, the commencement - Of his birth. The former is viewed only as it is a mean for procuring the abortion ofr the subject; and it is this consequence which is assumed as the ground for the attachment of penalty: the latter is properly homicide, whatever may have been the duration of life, either before or after the period of birth though it is convenient, in regard to medical jurispru dence, to contemplate the destruction of life at a certain epoch in a distinct manner.

Not illustrated. 1821 edition. Excerpt: ...and instantly dies, the lungs will swim in water as readily as if it breathed longer, and had then been strangled."! ne lung' will It has been found that the lungs will float in float from putre-. . fuMm. water in consequence ot putrefaction having taken place in them.; Putrefaction must, however, be very far advanced, before this phenomenon will thence result, and before such a degree of putrefaction takes place in those organs, under ordinary circumstances, that of the body generally will have proceeded almost to the last stage. This was proved by Camper. "In order to ascertain," he says, "to what degree putrefaction would advance in an infant before its lungs would float in water, I made different experiments, at Amsterdam, on this subject; and I have found that, in those who had died before birth, the head may be so far decomposed by putrefaction, that the slightest force was sufficient to detach the bones of it from each other, as well as those of the arms and legs, before the lungs, which now began to participate in the putrefaction, would float in water." These observations are derived from expositions of the bodies of infants in water as well as to the air on land.

Book Description
Spaces for Feeling explores how English and Scottish people experienced sociabilities and socialities from 1650 to 1850, and investigates their operation through emotional practices and particular spaces. The collection highlights the forms, practices, and memberships of these varied spaces for feeling in this two hundred year period and charts the shifting conceptualisations of emotions that underpinned them. The authors employ historical, literary, and visual history approaches to analyse a series of literary and art works, emerging forms of print media such as pamphlet propaganda, newspapers, and periodicals, and familial and personal sources such as letters, in order to tease out how particular communities were shaped and cohered through distinct emotional practices in specific spaces of feeling. This collection studies the function of emotions in group formations in Britain during a period that has attracted widespread scholarly interest in the creation and meaning of sociabilities in particular. From clubs and societies to families and households, essays here examine how emotional practices could sustain particular associations, create new social communities and disrupt the capacity of a specific cohort to operate successfully. This timely collection will be essential reading for students and scholars of the history of emotions.
