Présentation de l'éditeur

Cases relate. Since the book as a whole was to be only a fragment, it was not thought worth while to divide it into chapters and sections, to be arranged in consecutive order, but the easier method was adopted of treating the different subjects separately and independently, and arranging them in alphabetical order. The arrangement of the subjects, therefore, indicates nothing as to the order in which they should be read, and every reader must exercise his own taste and judgment as to the order in which he will read them, or whether he will read them in any order. As the Summary was written for the sake of the Cases, and the two were designed to be companions, the Cases constitute the chief authority cited in the Summary. When other authorities are cited, it is for some special purpose, it being no part of the writers object to make a collection of authorities upon the subjects discussed. For the same reason, the cases are constantly cited and discussed without any statement of them, it being always assumed that the reader has them before him, and that, if he is not already familiar with them, he will make himself so. The present edition differs but little from the first edition, except in form.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
