Preface.
The favourable reception given to my volume issued under the title of “TheLawyer in History, Literature, and Humour,” has induced me to prepare, onsimilar lines, the present book, dealing with curiosities of the law. Ihope those who are interested in the study of the byways of literature mayfind entertainment and instruction in its pages, and that it will win awelcome not only from the legal profession, but from the reading public.
I am enabled by the courtesy of Messrs. Chatto & Windus, to reproduce formy frontispiece, an illustration from a work published by them, under thetitle of “Credulities Past and Present.”
