A Treatise on the Law of Roads and Streets, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Roads and Streets, Vol. 1

This work has occupied a field of its own since its first publication in 1890. Shortly after the publication of the second edition of Roads and Streets, the American Law Review published a carefully prepared tabulation of the citation of text-books in the reports of the courts for the year. Such tabulation shows that this book was the only one on the general subject to be cited often enough to be included, and that it was not exceeded in number of times cited by any book of similar size and scope on any subject of the law.

In order to economize space much matter that ordinarily would find a place in the text has been included in the notes. In many instances the reasons for a rule, and the exception or the distinction are elabo rated in these notes. The notes are thoroughly indexed, The section numbers of the earlier edition are retained and appear in brackets following the bold face numbers adopted for this edition.
