Suicide and Its Antidotes: A Series of Anecdotes and Actual Narratives, With Suggestions on Mental Distress

Excerpt from Suicide and Its Antidotes: A Series of Anecdotes and Actual Narratives, With Suggestions on Mental Distress

What the law, therefore, with all its wisdom, cannot effect, is humbly attempted in this work by methods which observation, history, natural reason, and religion, prescribe.
