De l'homicide et de l'anthropophagie.

Paris: J.-B. Baillière, 1856.

One of the earliest works on cannibalism, and probably the first work to combine a discussion of homicide and cannibalism from the medical viewpoint. The author, who was very widely read on these subjects, searched for cures for both phenomena.
