A Hand-Book of the Law of Scotland (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the Law of Scotland

Notonlyhasthe text beencarefullyrevised, andmodified in accordance with such changes as subsequent legislation has introduced into the law, but new matter has been added, wherever it appeared that subjects of importance or of general interest had been overlooked. An attempt has also been made to render the book more useful to students, and more interesting to intelligent readers of all classes, by indicating with greater fulness than had been done in the former edition, the sources from which the law of Scotland has derived those characteristics in which it differs from that of England. The historical account of the ofice of Sherifl', the article on the Court of the Lord Lyon, that on Litigation by the Poor, and other portions of the work as it now stands, are entirely new.
