Excerpt from Principles of the Common Law: An Elementary Work Intended for the Use of Students and the Profession
Besides his chief object the author has also had another in view, viz.: to produce a book which may if not always in itself, yet, at any rate, by aid of the extensive references to either text-books or cases - form a work useful to the practitioner. In many cases it may - from its very Size - be useful for this purpose only as an index, and remembering this, the author has considered that in many places references to larger text-books would be preferable to cases, and has acted accordingly; and here he would acknowledge the Obligations he is under to the learned authors and editors of the various works he has in the following pages referred to.
With these few words the author sends his work forth to speak for itself and be judged on its merits, assuring his readers that no pains have been spared on his part to insure accuracy, and trusting that his labours may meet with approbation.
