The Expansion of the Common Law

............................................................................................

Description
THE lectures from which this volume is named were delivered to the Law Schools of several A few American Universities last autumn. additions have been made to the original text. The address given at the request of the Harvard Law School association for its commemoration of 1895 was not intended at the time to have any sequel, but is now prefixed to the course of 1903 as being sufficiently germane to the matter to serve as a eneral introduction. Familiar matters of both fact and law were necessarily taken for granted in delivering the lectures; and it does not now seem desirable to vouch authorities at large for them. References have been given only where it is thought that they may be really useful for verification or farther search.
