Excerpt from The Administration of Justice Under Military and Martial Law: As Applicable to the Army, Navy, Marines, and Auxiliary Forces
In presenting this Work to the. notice of the Public, I desire to explain, in a few sentences, the circumstances under which it appears, and the purpose which it is intended to serve: hoping in this explanation to satisfy the Reader that this is not a time inopportune for the publication of a Book on "Military and Martial Law."
When the Royal Commissioners on Courts-martial presented their Report to the Crown, they remarked upon the necessity for further information upon the Administration of Military Law. Since the date of that Report, no Work of any kind has appeared; though many Legal and Constitutional changes have followed upon the Army Regulation Act of 1871, and the War Department has prescribed to tho Officers in the Regular and Auxiliary Forces the study of Military Law, as an essential qualification for promotion. The necessity, which was apparent in 1868-9, has therefore become urgent in 1872.
It is with the desire of facilitating the acquisition of such knowledge that this Work has been undertaken; and, with this object, I have thought it expedient to collect together in one Volume, all the information - so far as it relates to Court-martial practice - that a Subordinate Officer would desire for the study, or a Superior Officer for the Administration, of Justice in the Army.
