Excerpt from Four Lectures on the Law of Employers Liability at Home and Abroad

It was for a time the favourite theory of Mr. Froude that our national movement, that procession of affairs which, whether you call it "progress," or by any other name, exerts the strangest fascination over the imaginative student of history, was nowhere else so faithfully recorded as in the preambles to our Acts of Parliament. For a theory it was not a bad one, but it applies only to that time when preambles were long and enactments short. Modern Statutes, for the most part, have no preambles, our stingy legislators being averse to give the judges any clue to their meaning beyond the bare text.
