This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 962 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on the Law of Evidence, Vol. 1 This treatise, which has already passed through ten editions in England and been as often revised by its author, holds deservedly high rank as an elementary exposition of the Law of evidence; while the notes by Messrs. Cowen Hill, elaborate and comprehensive beyond any work of the kind, have given to these volumes the highest value and widest reception. The new form in which the present edition appears, demands from the editor a few words of explanation. The notes are printed in the same volume with, and (as far as practicable) immediately under the text to which they refer - a change in the mode of printing that will doubtless preve convenient, and greatly facilitate the labor bf comparing one part of the work with another. The notes, which contain frequent references from one to another, are numbered from the beginning of the first to the end of the third volume, and are printed without alteration; those added to the previous edition by Mr. Van Cott, retain the designation of stars by which they were distinguished from the others, and the citation of new authorities and statutes in this, are inclosed in parentheses. Keeping this in mind, the reader will readily place the responsibility of the successive annotations where it belongs. By a careful study of the notes, it will be seen that as a general rule, the division of either of them into separate parts cannot be made without breaking that fine chain of reasoning and discussion that runs through nearly all of them, making each a complete essay in itself. In a few cases the note embracing two subjects and appearing to be fairly divisible, has been divided, so as to bring each part under the appropriate head of the text; and here and there, where the author in his late revision has adopted into the text only part of such a note, the part so appropriated has not been reprinted in its original form. In frequent instances the original note, citing and commenting upon English authorities, has been wholly absorbed and embodied in the text, enriching that at the expense of the annotators; in these instances, of course, the note has not been reprinted, as such. Occasionally, the note, in its nature indivisible, has been only partly incorporated into the text, and has therefore, as a rule, been retained in full as written. In brief, the entire work has been reproduced with the design of preserving the notes intact, as far as practicable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Arbitration and Award England or the United States can furnish any thing in this department of the law of greater value. While that eminent jurist, chief-justice Shaw, was upon the bench, nearly all the opinions in this class of cases emanated from his pen, and it was a subject in respect of which he evinced a peculiar mastery. His Opinions are essays, elaborate, lucid, and convincing. I have made extensive extracts from them, since I have found no other authority so thoroughly satisfactory. I have added no appendix of forms to aid in drafting submissions, awards, &c., for the reason that this assist ance seemed to me wholly needless. All these docu ments, so far as matters of formality go, are such simple instruments that a layman could hardly go wrong in drawing them, and no lawyer could need guidance. In matters of substance, on the other hand, where errors are more naturally made, no general form could be of real use. Mr. Russell's forms are drawn with reference to elaborate English statutes and rules of practice which call for a considerable amount of technical precision. No similar necessity exists among us.

Download or read book Essays on Professions written by Robert Dingwall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years Robert Dingwall has published an influential series of articles on the professions, especially law and medicine. This represents a substantial and coherent body of work in an important sub-discipline of sociology. This volume assembles the best of these writings in one single accessible place. The ten essays are republished in their original form, each bearing the traces of the time and place it was written. In sum, they provide a fascinating account of an academic journey. They are introduced with a foreword from the author, who places the work in context and offers some thoughts about how the work might be used by scholars in developing the field, to evaluate, for example, the effects of the New Labour period on professional autonomy. The essays will be indispensable to sociologists with a general interest in the professions and to scholars of law, medicine and business.
Download or read book Essays on Some Disputed Questions in Modern written by Thomas Joseph Lawrence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Some Disputed Questions in Modern: International Law Expedition of 1882, refers in eulogistic terms to the ably planned and well executed operations whereby our fleet seized the Suez Canal. He then adds, The inference to Americans is obvious, that the neutrality of any canal joining the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will be maintained, if at all, by the nation which can place and keep the strongest Ships at each extremity. No doubt the gallant Commander is right, so far as physical force is concerned; but, with regard to the legal aspect of the case, I have contended that all the states interested in the canal must concur in its neutralization, before the status of neutrality can be conferred upon it. Here again my view receives con firmation from current authority; for I see in the news papers that the International Peace and Arbitration Conference, assembled at Berne early in the present month, resolved that a guarantee of all the maritime powers was necessary in order to effect the neutralization OF interoceanic canals. I have said that the Essays are greatly amplified lectures; and this is true of all except the fifth. When I came to revise it for publication, the subject appeared so great that a treatise would be required to deal with it completely. I have therefore been content to elaborate a little more fully one or two points which were the pivots of my argument, sending the rest of the lecture to press in almost the same form as it was delivered. The more the subject is investigated, the more, I believe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Law of Private Property in War With a Chapter on Conquest written by Norman Bentwich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Private Property in War, With a Chapter on Conquest: Being the Yorke Prize Essay for 1906 This book is based upon the Essay which won the Yorke Prize at Cambridge University in 1906; and the Author's chief excuse for adding to the already unwieldy mass of literature, which is being piled up about International Law, is that, by the regula tions which govern the Prize, publication has been thrust upon him. It is hoped, however, that the treatise may find some small justification beyond this compulsion. Undoubtedly the subject with which it deals is in the air. The events of the war between Russia and Japan and the approach of the meeting of the second Hague Conference, which it is hoped will form a code of the laws of war on sea, have combined to arouse public interest in the development of the International Law of War and Neutrality. Public opinion has greater influence in deter mining changes in this branch of jurisprudence than in any other, because these changes depend finally on the common consent of nations, which is but the expression of the united opinion of the people; and this in turn must be guided by the expositions of jurists. The aim of this book is to formulate, from a study of the chief authorities, the general principles which underlie modern usages, to point out where particular practices are obsolete and violate those principles, and to suggest the lines upon which reform may proceed. It may seem by its title to clash with an elaborate treatise which has recently been written on War and Commerce by Mr. Atherley-j ones, but its scope is at once narrower and wider. It avoids as far as possible lengthy historical disquisitions, and it does not seek to trace a path through the wilderness of single instances. It is more concerned with present usages and tendencies, and it covers the effects of war in all its relations to private property, as well of enemies as of neutrals, and both on land and on sea. It is clearly differentiated also in scope from the standard treatises on International Law, for it deals exclusively with that part of the law which affects private persons, and aims rather at interesting the student than satisfying the lawyer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Constitutional Law: France, England, United States In introducing the book in an English form to readers unable to enjoy the French original, I can confidently recommend it to the attention of students. The work was originally composed for Frenchmen; hence the author occasionally insists upon features in the English Constitution which to Englishmen may appear to be too well known to require notice or explanation. But the fact that the essay is written by a foreigner for foreigners, though it may seem at first sight to limit the utility of the book for: English students, is in reality one of its great recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book The Forms of Music written by Donald Francis Tovey and published by Yoakum Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Francis Tovey Born in 1 875, Donald Francis Tovey was a British musicologist and composer. He took classical honors with his B. A. at Ox ford in 1898, and became a pianist of the first rank, though he never sought a virtuoso career. From 1914 to 1940 he was Reid Professor of Music at Edinburgh University. He died in 1 940. His other books include Normality and Freedom in Music, The Main Stream of Music, A Musician Talks, Essays in Musical Analysis, and Beethoven. ivx Meridian Books edition first published October 1956 First printing September 1956 Second printing June 1957 Third printing July 1958 Fourth printing April 1959 Fifth printing December 1959 Reprinted by arrangement with Oxford University Press Originally published 1944 as Musical Articles from the Encyclopaedia Britannica Library of Congress catalog card number 56-10015 Manufactured in the United States of America EDITORIAL PREFACE THE desire to set down upon paper a comprehensive system of musical education was present in the mind of Donald Tovey for the greater part of his life. In 1896, when he was 21, he wrote in a letter to a friend that he had begun a great work quot on the means of Expression in Music quot If ever I finish the thing, into print it shall go. Thirty years later, he was talking about a series of four text-books on music. But into print neither the one scheme nor the other went the final expression of his ideas on music was never written. It never could be written, because it was never final in the mind of that incessant discoverer in music. Nor was his method of writing that of finality. The nearest point to finality which Tovey ever reached in his expression of a formal philosophy in music is tobe found in the articles on technique and aesthetics of music as he called them himself in the list of his writings supplied to Who s Who which he contributed to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Those articles, written from 1906 onwards for the eleventh edition of the Ency clopaedia, and revised again, almost rewritten, for the fourteenth edition in 1929, were necessarily cast in the imposed form of treatises under word-headings. Yet they coalesce very firmly into a clear and coherent testament, almost into a text-book of the art of music in its widest meaning. Like the Glossary to the Essays in Musical Analysis, the entries are unconnected, the whole comprehensive, and while not attempting completeness, afford the reader a wider range of musical thought and a fuller discussion of technical problems than most of the exhaustive and laborious theses now available. Tovey himself set great store by these articles. They formed for him the basis of his teaching at the University of Edinburgh. They are the background to those fuller considerations of musical compositions which are his Essays in Musical Analysis. It was his own proposal that these articles should be gathered together into one volume, an idea expressed to me as long ago as 1926. Means were then taken towards the end of publishing, and it was agreed that Tovey should in his own time make any alterations or correc tions necessary for the new method of presentation. But many other fresh and no doubt more important ideas and schemes came bubbling up into that wonderfully fertile brain, and nothing was done about the book of musical articles. I say more important because, though he was in life so fully occupied, it has now been foundpossible to publish these articles after the author s death. This book contains all the articles which Tovey wrote for the VI EDITORIAL PREFACE Encyclopaedia Britannica, as they now appear there, with the exception of one on Modern Music and the biographies. The book was set up from printed slips, and thus follows the text finally approved and corrected by the author. The very long musical examples are printed in full...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Justice: A Critical Essay The present work lies within a sphere of inquiry to which ethics may perhaps lay the best claim, but to which economics and politics have nevertheless a valid right. While the facts dealt with by the several social sciences are largely the same, they are examined from different points of view. The special task which falls to the ethicist is the determination of the absolute value of social institutions, and the statement in as definite a form as possible of the principles which should govern men in their efforts to adjust their lives to the highest ideals of right and justice. In a certain sense, each social science has thus its own ethic. Each of these separate ethics must, however, rest upon general principles of right, which have first to be determined in the abstract. It is the aim of this volume to ascertain if possible, these general principles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
