Présentation de l'éditeur :
You complain to me that, although utterly ignorant of law, you are constantly compelled to exercise your own judgment on legal points :that you cannot always have your solicitor at your elbow ;and yet a contract for the sale, purchase, or lease of an estate, a loan, or, perhaps, even an agreement to make a settlement on a childs marriage, must be entered into at once; and it is not until you have gone too far to retreat that you learn what errors you have committed :that you are even at a loss in giving instructions for your will, and wholly incapable of making the most simple one for yourself: that you cannot readily comprehend your solicitor when you seek his advice: that, in a word, you have been plunged into a lawsuit, which a slight previous knowledge might happily have prevented. It is, unquestionably, a matter of profound regret, that so large a proportion of contracts respecting estates should lead to litigation. It is equally to be regretted that, however desirous the man of property may be to understand the effect of his daily contracts, there is no source to which he can apply for the desired information.
