Excerpt from Elements of the Law of Torts for the Use of Students T chanced some time ago that my Elements of the Law of Torts found favour in the instruction of the Law School of the University of Cambridge, and that not long afterwards a suggestion came to me over sea, from those who had been using the book there, to prepare an English edition of it. More to say were needless. The University Press undertook the work; the result is here. The present differs from the American edition in that it is a book of the law of England instead of the law of America. American cases are, indeed, cited here and there but that has always been done with a view to throwing light upon the student's work. In the changes made, English authorities and illustrations have been substituted very generally for American, and the English statutes have been referred to wherever they fall within the scope of the book. Some chapters have been almost Wholly re-written; chapter fourth, of' Part I, appears here for the first time; the Introduction is a new one.
