The editors note: "The basis of the following work [was] a series of lectures which were prepared by the late lamented Judge Howe, and delivered to the students composing his law school at Northampton. It was his intention, when they should have been completed, to have published them; but before the outlines of his proposed work were entirely filled up, death arrested the progress of his labors" (Preface, [iii]). The work was completed by the editors using Howe's notes as a guide. Conant [1810-1891] was a prominent Worcester, Massachusetts, lawyer, businessman and philanthropist.
