Excerpt from Studies of Criminal Responsibility and Limited Responsibility
The following Studies of Criminal Responsibility and Limited Responsibility are based upon six cases to which Dr. Folsom had given much time and thought. They were found among his papers after his death in August, 1907. They were grouped together and had been more or less carefully revised, evidently for the purpose of publication at some time. Indeed he had expressed such an intention in a general way to his wife and to one or two intimate friends. Some of the studies have been previously published in medical periodicals. Some of them doubtless would have undergone still more careful revision at Dr. Folsom's hands had he lived. They are privately printed now for circulation among professional and other friends.
These studies testify to his earnestness and zeal in elucidating questions which interested him through many years, and his steadfast attitude towards some problems nearly affecting the welfare of society.
There is no reason to suppose that recent events would have caused him to modify his opinion as to "the condition misnamed moral insanity."
