Excerpt from The Law of Wills: For Students
When asked some time ago to write a book on Wills for the Students" Series, I told my publishers, who are owners of the American copyright of Jarman on Wills, under the International Copyright Law, that I would try it if I could have free use of Jarman and my own notes to that work. How much the permission given has been used, the references to Jarman, scattered up and down the present volume, in part bear witness.
But a word or two need now be said. This book agrees with those who find an important place for legal theory in education for the bar. Chapter I., largely on the theory of wills in relation to the State, and Chapter XIV., largely on the theory of construction, are only more express examples, because of their relative and intrinsic importance, of what more or less runs through the book. Whatever mode of instruction is pursued, whether the Harvard, which is powerfully modifying where it is not taking the place of other methods, or any other, the doctrines of the law should, I think, be taught in direct connection with and in the light of legal theory.
