Book Description
Excerpt from New Commentaries on Marriage, Divorce, and Separation as to the Law, Evidence, Pleading, Practice, Forms and the Evidence of Marriage in All Issues on a New System of Legal Exposition, Vol. 1 of 2 The double purpose of the present work is to present the subject of a preceding one in a new and improved form, and to introduce the practitioner to available methods of investigation and labor productive of higher results than have been common heretofore. Almost forty years ago was published my original "Marriage and Divorce," the first of my legal writings. It was in one volume, covering only a part of the ground occupied by the two-volume editions. The present work retains the entire larger ground, and adds thereto the promise to marry and the breach of it, seductions of husband and wife, and various minor topics. It brings down the entire subject, as appearing in the utterances and decisions of the courts, to the present date. It arranges all in an improved order; and it treats all from the standpoint of to-day, as though the author had never before written on the subject. Beyond which, and chiefly, it is what is now to be explained. These "New Commentaries" are the culmination, while they are the best exemplification I can give, of what is mentioned on the titlepage as "a new system of legal exposition."
