Hale, Sir Matthew. Historia Placitorum Coronae: The History of the Pleas of the Crown. In the Savoy (London): E. and R. Nutt and R. Gosling, for F. Gyles, T. Woodward, and C. Davis, 1736. Oversized 4to, half-leather over library cloth, Vol. 1: 710pp, Vol. 2: 612pp. Sir Matthew Hale (1609-1676) a Lord Chief Justice of England, was considered one of the greatest legal minds of the mid-17th century. His judicial doctrines have influenced the opinions of his successors. In this book, Hale formulates his views concerning legal insanity. When this was written, studies of mental illness were typically general, and there was no understanding of how someone with mental illness thought or felt. Additionally, no case records regarding mental sickness were kept at this time. In this two-volume set, Hale defines the differences between medical and legal insanity, along with temporary or partial insanity. Hale believed that only total insanity could excuse a criminal from legal responsibility, and this is a principle that is still common in criminal law today. Condition: Typical shelf wear, even toning, else VG.
