Elements of english law [antikvár]

PREFACE The late Professor Geldart's book on the Elements of English Law is a striking testimony to the extent of his knowledge of the English legal system, and to his powers of clear, well-proportioned, and accurate exposition. There is no other book in which these Elements are so effectively stated in so small a compass» So far as is possible I have left the text untouched. But recent legislation, especially the legislation which has recast the land law, has made it necessary to rewrite and amend; and both historical research and the decisions of the courts have made it necessary to modify a few passages. I can only hope that my distinguished predecessor in the Vinerian Chair would have approved the book in its present form. W. S. H. All Souls College. April, 1929.
