Poisons, Their Effects and Detection
A Manual for the Use of Analytical Chemists and Experts
Poisons, Their Effects and Detection is a manual written by Alexander Wynter Blyth for analytical chemists and expert witnesses, given here in its third edition. It opens with a historical part on ancient and medieval poison-lore and on the growth of modern chemical methods of detection, then defines and classifies poisons by their action. The main body takes them group by group: poisonous gases, acids and alkalies, substances that can be distilled, the alkaloids and other vegetable poisons, animal poisons and the metals, giving for each its effects, symptoms, post-mortem signs and the laboratory tests that reveal it, with notes on celebrated cases. It is a working reference of the Victorian laboratory and courtroom. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
