Excerpt from A Treatise on the Property Rights of Husband and Wife, Under the Community or Ganancial System I have considered it my duty to present my own views where they differ from those of the courts, but, at the same time, I am fully aware of my own fallibility and that the views of eminent jurists should not be lightly ignored or departed from. In no sense do I desire that my criticisms shall derogate from the authority and re spect due to the able judges who have expounded the law upon the subjects herein discussed. It would be pre sumptuous on my part to expect that every proposition stated in this work will be found to be correct, but my aim has been to make no positive statements of the law unless clear that they are sound in principle. I take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge my obligations to my friends for valuable assistance rendered in the preparation of this work, and particularly to Judge 0. H. Hanford and ex-chief Justice Roger S. Greene, whose kindly criticisms have been of marked benefit. I also desire to express my obligations to W. R. Bell, Esq., of the Seattle bar, for valuable assistance in this work. The reward sought for my self-imposed labors will be that they may be productive of benefit to a profession which is the noblest among men.
