Excerpt from Cases on Criminal Law The cases included in this volume have been selected mainly from American Reports dating to the year 1914, and widely chosen from many state and federal jurisdictions, without preference, a few from the English decisions recognized as leading, with the aim of being equally serviceable in Law Schools of the different states devoting from one to two hours a week to the study of Criminal Law. To show the historical development of the subject, quota tions from authoritative text writers of the past, and modern'cases reviewing the older decisions, have been used, in place of the ancient English decisions, to which the author has observed stu dents give little heed; in this way necessary economy of space has been effected. A brief chapter on the much neglected, yet highly important, subject of Constitutional Rights of the Accused has been inserted; otherwise the cases are confined to a consideration of the substantive law of Crimes, without special reference to the law of Procedure. A logical arrangement of topics has been striven for, and the cases placed, as far as possible, in a sequence which will permit the student to advance from one to another without leaving missing links of knowledge necessary to progress. Effort has been made to present cases interesting upon the facts. The footnotes have been designed to show where the law is in conflict, and also to indicate the law upon topics of which space has for bidden a fuller discussion.

Excerpt from A Selection of Cases and Other Authorities Upon Criminal Law A rearrangement of courses in the Harvard Law School has taken out of the course on Criminal Law and'included in a new course the topics of Causation, Justification, and Excuse. The chapters in which these topics were considered hare therefore been removed from this book. This third edition is identical with the second, except that the chapters mentioned, viz., Chapters V, VIII, and IX, and part of Chapter III of the old edition, have been removed; but this change has made necessary an entire renum bering of the pages in this edition.

Excerpt from Selection of Cases Illustrative of English Criminal Law The increased attention which, of recent years, has been bestowed, both in England and in the United States, upon the methods of legal education, has caused a fuller recognition of the great value which case-law possesses for even the elementary student. Only by means of concrete cases can he give vividness and reality to the abstract principles which he learns from his text-books, or even form a clear idea of the way in which questions, whether of law or of feet, are bandied in everyday practice by our courts of justice. But, valuable though this part of his legal training is, it is the part in which he most needs direction. Elementary students who read the Reports under their own guidance are prone to reverse the true order of things, by attending to the names of cases rather than to their facts, and to the facts rather than to the principles decided. Even when the principle itself is sought for, it is too often sought only by the compendious method of perusing nothing of the case beyond the head note; a plan of study which combines the disadvantages of reading case-law with those of reading text-books. And even a student whose greater assiduity has saved him from these errors is often led, by a natural inclination for reading recent cases in preference to older ones, to waste his time upon the study of decisions that are concerned only with some refined limitation of a fundamental doctrine, when he has not yet become acquainted with the cases in which that broad doctrine itself is established.

Excerpt from Leading Cases Simplified: A Collection of the Leading Cases in Criminal Law The present volume completes the series of Lead ing Cases Simplified. In my. First volume Common Law Cases) I stated my object to be to present the lead ing cases of the Common Law in a brief and semi humorous form. The favor with which my attempt was received induced me, in a second volume, to treat in the same way the leading cases in Equity and Constitutional Law. And in this third volume, both the student and the practitioner will be able, I think, to find all the leading cases and all the principles of the criminal law, as admin istered at common law and to some extent as altered by statute.

Excerpt from Illustrative Cases in Criminal Law With Analysis and Citations Teaching the fundamental principles of law by means of actual cases illustrative of the meaning, limitations and scope of those principles is now admitted, I think, to be the most successful method of training young men for the bar, as it is certainly the most effectual method of educating and disciplining the mind. The "case lawyer" is denounced. If by that term is meant, as is usually true, that, having a case to conduct, he goes to the reports in search of another whose facts resemble the one he has to consider, ignoring the principle of law applicable to all cases of that class, the denunciation is merited; but the lawyer who consults the authorities extensively and thoroughly for a knowledge of principles and the just limits of their application, is the one whose merits and success are sure of recognition. The "Series," of which this volume is one, is designed to present the fundamental principles of the branches of law considered, and to furnish the student with abundant citations of authority where he can learn how judges have regarded those principles and what limitations and modifications they have recognized in their application. With us, this method, with lectures, and in some branches of the law, text-books, has produced good results; and if this book can be made useful to others whose life and energy are devoted to the. cause of legal education, that fact will be an especial gratification to its author, Mr. Paige. The merits and value of this volume are entirely due to Mr. Paige, who has devoted to it much patient labor, extensive reading, and careful thought. His analysis of the subject so carefully prepared, is a helpful feature of the book. In the hands of students it is extremely valuable.
