In the first lecture of this series, when touching upon the various kinds of commercial knowledge desirable for engineers, I made reference to a knowledge of law as being one of these. I wish at the outset of the present lecture to emphasise the warning I then expressed against the idea that such legal knowledge should be regarded as in any way rendering the engineer independent of legal advice. On the contrary, as I pointed out, it will serve the useful purpose of giving him some impression of the difficulties and dangers that may result from acting independently of such advice, and Should enable him to appreciate more fully its value in the compli cated circumstances of modern life and work.
I do not intend this evening to presume upon the province of the professional lawyer by attempting to give you instruction in any branch of the subject. In so far as I may have occasion to refer to legal principles or rules it will be merely by way of illustrating the nature of the contact with them which may arise out of your work as engineers, It is the intention that subsequent lectures of the series Shall include the treatment by expert lawyers of the subjects about which it is important that you Should know something in detail.
The study of law is not necessarily of the dry-as - dust character it is often represented to be. Like all other products of civilisation it is the outcome of an evolution, the history of which possesses a high intellectual interest. From the early customs established by mutual consent of the members of small communities to the elaborate codes of some modern nations and the still more intricate and elaborate case and statute law of England this transition has been slow, gradual, and over moderate periods of time almost imper ceptible, although marked at various stages by changes of such importance as to entitle them to be regarded as distinct steps. I Shall not take up your time with any prolonged essay on the origin and development of English law, but a few words upon certain features of it may help to justify the claim that you must add some legal knowledge to your equipment if you are to be considered complete in your qualifications for your work. It is a fundamental principle of English court practice that every man is presumed to know the law, and, like many another legal fiction, although quite impossible of realisation is not infrequently impressed upon plaintiff or defendant as a cold hard fact of daily life. You may quite conceivably find yourselves some day upon the horns of this impracticable dilemma, and it behoves you to acquire such knowledge as may reduce that possibility to a reasonable working risk.
