In 8, pp. X + 345 + (3b). Firma di possesso al p. ant. Dedica autogr. dell'A. alla prima c. di sguardia. Lievi mancanze al d. Br. ed. Fa parte della Collana 'Biblioteca Antropologico-giuridica', serie I, vol. V. Ed. orig. di questo studio completo e sistematico dei nuovi criteri giuridici con cui andavano considerati l'aborto e l'infanticidio. L'A., avvocato, dopo un iniziale inquadramento storico relativo a tali pratiche nell'antichita', passa in rassegna le principali posizioni in materia (Pessina, Puglia, Carrara), per poi esporre il testo del progetto di riforma dell'ultimo Codice penale. L'A., in particolare, ritiene necessario mitigare le pene per l'infanticidio perche' si tratta della 'soppressione di una esistenza che e' cosi' minacciata e nello stesso tempo minacciosa: minacciata per la frequenza dei nati-morti illegittimi e per la mortalita' che colpisce piu' tardi il trovatello ed in genere il fanciullo non allevato dalla propria madre'.

In 8, pp. 62 + (1) + (1b). Lieve mancanza all'ang. est. sup. del p. ant. Br. ed. Nell'opera l'A. mette in correlazione l'aborto e l'infanticidio con il disonore presso la pubblica opinione che deriva dal fatto di aver procreato al di fuori del matrimonio. Borelli sostiene infatti che le madri, quando non ricorrono al suicidio, all'aborto o all'infanticidio, si vedono comunque costrette all'eposizione del neonato: questa e' sicuramente per lei 'una pena morale, che le fara' maledire una societa' ipocrita, che le fa colpa di aver obbedito ad una delle passioni piu' naturali, senza farvi precedere una formalita', che sovente non e' che una menzogna ed un ludibrio'. L'A., originario di Boves, era avvocato, giureconsulto, naturalista, ma si interesso' anche di sociologia, storia e scienze naturali.
