Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Principles of Common Law and Equity Procedure: A Manual of Vermont Court Procedure, Relating Also the Duties of Public Officers, Especially Sheriffs, Notaries Public, Town Clerks, Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, and Various Others, With Appropriate Practical Forms; A Companion Book to the Vermont Ju This volume was authorized by the Legislature, presumably because of its expected value to the whole people, rather than for the benefit of any class or profession. In a general sense, this must and will be considered as a "law book"; but through its entire preparation the aim has been to make it useful for those who have never studied law, no less than for those who, by their reading and professional knowledge, can readily become familiar with the sources of information from which the statements in this volume have been obtained. If any treatise on law is to have authority, its statements must adhere closely to the original utterances of the judges and legislators who gave such authority to them; and any deviation from their exact language is full of danger. A work of this kind must therefore be a condensation, into almost minute space, of thoughts which have been expressed elsewhere in elaborate detail, by many writers, who could fully explain their views, free from the limits of time and space which circumscribe this volume. Nearly every portion of the subject matter of this book has been already treated by some scholarly writer, who has used from one to three volumes of this size to unfold the matters contained here in a single chapter. The only possible way of carrying out the legislative intent was to condense and rearrange the statements of others, so that they may suggest the correct principles to be applied in the emergencies of the future, since they cannot do more in the space at our disposal. This book is not meant to make "every man his own lawyer." Such an idea conflicts with all the warnings contained in later pages against great probable danger, when ignorant and unskilled persons attempt to use established legal forms. Instances of almost incredible obtuseness in such use have come to the author´s notice since the publication of the earlier work referred to in the legislative act.
