Excerpt from Humorous Phases of the Law, Vol. 1
The papers embraced in the following pages were originally published in the Albany Law Journal. The writer has been led to collect and publish them in the present form, not "at the solicitation of many friends and against his better judgment" - which is the usual form of expression in such cases - but in the hope that they may enliven a leisure hour of his brethren engrossed in a dry profession, and possibly amuse a few outside of the ranks of the law. For the benefit of the latter, he has added a few explanatory notes.
The cases cited in the following pages are all real, and the writer has not intentionally exaggerated or misrepresented any of them. In a great majority of instances he has consulted the original reports, and has not depended on second-hand citations. If any thing humorous shall be discovered in them, therefore, the reader may rely that the author has not made fun of the law, but has only allowed the law to make fun of itself.
The writer submits these papers to the public, hoping that his readers may find as much amusement in the perusal as he has found in the researches necessary to the preparation.
