Présentation de l'éditeur
Dmrnm Hmmmmm tJ PREFACE. This account of the judicial duel in England and Scotland has grown out of general antiquarian studies. A few facts casually gleaned furnished the staple of a paper read to the Glasgow Juridical Society in the spring of 1888. Subsequently the quest for material was systematically pursued. The evidence gathered seemed to make decisively for several new and relatively important historical conclusions. In support of these a dangerous ambition is now gratified to break a lance in the lists of history. If debts of gratitude were mortgages Trial by Combat would enter the world heavily burdened. My chief purpose in writing a preface is to register the more considerable of my obligations. To Professor Frederic W. Maitland of Cambridge I owe warm thanks for direct help in dealing with the early English duel of law.
