With great skill and fidelity 'it conducts the student over the field that he is to occupy, systematically, and with all possible simplicity, explain mg to his understanding what is most worthy e be known. But though such the author modestly declared to have been the chief object of his work, its utility embraces a much wider sphere, including the highest employment of judicial learn ing and talent, whether of the advocate at the bar or the judge upon the bench.

Excerpt from Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws, Vol. 1: United States of America, and of the Several States of the American Union; With References to the Civil and Other Systems of Foreign LawIT has been the purpose of the Editor in preparing this his Third Revision to treat much more fully all encyclopaedic titles, except those in which there has been no development in recent years, while adding many dictionary and other minor titles not found in the last Revision. These objects and the great changes since 1898, the date of the last Revision, in the questions which have occupied the courts, have required the extension of the work to three volumes. The titles of both State and Federal cases have for the first time been inserted, as well as the volumes of the different series of reports other than those of the official series. Titles of a statutory and changing nature have been treated less fully, so as to avoid purely ephemeral matter.Judge Baldwin (modern Political Institutions 241) quotes Jeremiah Mason as saying that the development of an American Jurisprudence can only be looked for from the courts of the National Government. The Editor has been guided by that thought and sees in it a hope of increasing uniformity of law, towards which the profession, in its work on uniform legislation, is making real progress. He has therefore constantly cited the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and very frequently those of the lower Federal Courts. Of course, on many of the questions now being passed upon by the State Courts, the decisions of the Supreme Court are of binding authority.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
