Excerpt from The Law of Libel: As Affecting Newspapers and Journalists
In the early summer of the present year, the author was invited by the Faculty of Laws of the University of London to deliver a course of five lectures on the law of libel at the Institute of Journalists. By the kind permission of the University, he has been allowed to publish these lectures. Inasmuch as they were prepared for practical men, it is hoped that their reproduction will be of value in the office of every newspaper. The fact that the text was the subject of oral delivery to a lay audience may serve to account for a certain freedom of expression, and for certain fanciful illustrations which are not usually found in a law book. Special care has been taken to make the index as complete and exhaustive as possible.
A part of the work is devoted to the metes and bounds of Criticism, the art of Law Reporting, and to the rules which should be observed by him who reports the proceedings of public meetings. Certain suggested reforms of the law of libel as it affects newspapers are dealt with at pp. 125-128.
With regard to the authorities cited, the author has been compelled, owing to limitations of space, to select but a few from among the vast number which appear in the law reports.
