Description
Excerpt from Law Dictionary: Use of Students and the Legal Profession The need of an Abridged Law Dictionary, which should contain the substance of the unabridged dictionaries, is conceded on all sides. Mr. Brown's English Law Dictionary seemed to supply this want in Great Britain; but some changes were required to adapt it to American law, and some additions were found desirable to render it complete. The American editor has, therefore, made occasional changes in the text, and, while in some instances considerable matter has been stricken out as being without usefulness or interest to the American law student, yet many new titles have been added, and several definitions have been entirely rewritten. The new titles are indicated by an asterisk; other modifications it has been found impracticable to indicate. It has not been the design to entirely Americanize the work, but only to conform it to the common law as existing in this country. The statutory law of the different States and of the United States could not be embraced within the limits of this work, even if that were appropriate in a law dictionary. It is believed that the law student will find every thing of value in this little work which can be found in either Bouvier's or Burrill's large dictionaries. And there are some features which are of unusual interest, such as the accounts of the English Courts and legal institutions, which Mr. Brown has furnished in a way unparalleled in any other dictionary. The tables of law reports and their abbreviations, and the list of legal maxims which are appended to the work by the American editor, will be found of great service. Although the work remains substantially an English law dictionary, the American editor is confident that it will be entirely satisfactory to the profession in this country, besides possessing the superior merit of illustrating the principle of multum in porvo.
