Excerpt from Elements of Law: Considered With Reference to Principles of General Jurisprudence

I have explained, in a place where it is likely to receive more attention than in a preface, the object of this book, and the use which I intend to be made of it. I have now only to add a word or two as to its form and its arrangement.

Its form is that of Lectures: and in fact a good deal of what the book at present contains formed part of a series of Lectures delivered to a small class of Hindoo and Mahommedan law students in Cal cutta, in the year 1870. It would have cost me no additional trouble to divest the book of that form, but I have preserved it, for this reason - it enables me to speak in the first person, and thus to show more clearly than I could otherwise do, how far I have depended on the labours of others, and how far I must take the whole responsibility of what I have said upon myself.
