Legislative Methods and Forms (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legislative Methods and Forms I have been permitted to see in proof some of the chapters of Mr. Bryce's forthcoming Studies in History and Jurisprudence. He has dealt with some of the subjects on which I have touched, but from a different point of view, and with an abundance of knowledge and a felicity of expression and illustration which I can only envy and cannot emulate. I am indebted to Mr. F. W. Gardiner for the Index and Tables of Statutes and Cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
