Excerpt from A Selection of Leading Cases in the Common Law: With Notes, From the Third English Edition The death of the learned author of this work occurred shortly after the publication of the last (the third) edition. A new edition having been called for, the present editor has endeavoured carefully to revise the notes, which in some cases have been re-written, and to incorporate the numerous decisions and statutes which have been given and passed with respect to the subjects of them. The cases on Contracts have been re-arranged, and although the form and character of the book do not admit of a perfectly scientific treatment of the law of contracts, it is hoped that the change may prove useful. A somewhat large addition has been made to the cases cited. The references to all cases have been carefully revised, and the date of each decision, and a second reference, when existing, have been added.

Excerpt from Leading Cases Made Easy: A Selection of Leading Cases in the Common Law, With Notes The work now submitted to law students differs considerably from other collections of leading cases. In the first place, the number of cases is much larger. "Fifty or sixty leading cases," says the late Mr. Samuel Warren, "thoroughly understood and distinctly recollected, will be found of incalculable value in practice; serving as so many sure landmarks placed upon the trackless wilds of law. And why should not the number be doubled I or even trebled? What pains can be too great to secure such a result?" My object has been to bring together and to elucidate the 150 cases of most general importance in the Common Law. And, however far short of that object I may have fallen, I think it will be admitted that any student whose diligence enables him to master their names and principles will have laid for himself a good foundation of legal learning. The present work differs also in style. I have adopted it as likely to arrest the attention, aid the memory, and make the study of the law less dry and repulsive. "That I have written in a semi-humorous vein," says an eminent authority, "shall need no apology, if thereby sound teaching wins a hearing from the million. There is no particular virtue in being seriously unreadable." Moreover, now and then, in the stating of a case certain deviations from strict accuracy may be discovered. Such deviations (except, of course, where I may have been unfortunate enough to fall into errors) have been made on the "reading made easy" principle.
