Excerpt from The Principles of Legal Liability for Trespasses and Injuries by Animals

The law governing cases of wrongs committed by means of animals is difficult and obscure. This is due to the fact that cases upon the subject are not numerous and, as a rule, the topic is only dealt with incidentally in books on the Law of Torts. The consequent lack, both of authority and opinion, leads both to inconsistency and uncertainty.

This book aims at a systematic exposition of the principles underlying the law, by examining their origin and development and explaining their present application. It is hoped that it will prove of service to practitioners and also to those who are interested in theories of law.

The author desires to express his thanks to Professor Courtney Kenny who suggested to him the need for such a work and also to his friend Mr Roland Burrows, M.A., LL.D., of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, for much valuable advice during the preparation of this book.
