Legal Essays (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Legal Essays I Am Fully Aware How Far My Work, Even In Merely Collecting What Has Already Been Published, Must Fall Short Of What Would Have Come From My FatherS Hand. And I Have Also Had Some Painful Doubts Whether He Would Approve Of Publishing Some Of The Articles At All In Their Present Form Without His Revision. But It Has Seemed To Me On The Whole That With An Explanation, Which I Have Undertaken In Each Instance To Give, Of The Date And Circumstances Under Which They Were Written, Their Publication Is Justified. I Have Made No Changes In The Articles Except In The Ease Of Clerical Errors And The Like, Which Professor Thayer Had Corrected In His Own Copy. All Notes Which I Have Added Are Enclosed In Square Brackets. Most Of The Matter So Added, And All Which Shows The Result Of Study Or Research, Is Taken From Memoranda Of Professor ThayerS On The Margin Of His Copies Or In His Collections Of Cases.
