Notes
*These trial accounts consist of verbatim narratives of courtroom testimony, taken down during the trial, transcribed at night, and sold the following day on the London street. They provide us with the most comprehensive record of courtroom dialogue and medical participation in the years that chronicle the rise of forensic psychiatry in England, l760–l843. The cases reported in this article can all be found in Eigen JP (2003).Citation1 For reasons unknown the Old Bailey stenographers added an acute accent to the second e in vertige and omitted one at the beginning of épileptique.
