A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Outlines of Constitutional Law: With Notes on Legal History

We have been asked to prepare for press a second edition of this work, and had we not been requested to make it a cheap work we should have doubled the length of it.

We hope that the Student will not treat this unpretentious volume as a vade mecum, but merely use it to condense knowledge previously obtained from the standard works.

Anyone desirous of obtaining a creditable knowledge of constitutional law and our ancient institutions should read the works of Maitland, Professor Dicey, Dr. Carter, Dr. Holdsworth, and Lord Courtenay, and also extracts from the commentaries on the common law by Dr. Blake Odgers and Mr. Odgers, whose lucid style will commend itself to beginners and will impart in a pleasant manner much information as to Constitutional Law and Legal History.

I have written a few chapters of this work, and given what assistance I could in regard to the remainder to my learned collaborator. Any merit which the book may be found to possess is to be ascribed to him.
