Excerpt from Law Affecting Building Operations and Architects and Builders Contracts

In the course of preparing a paper some years ago for the Edinburgh Architectural Society, I was struck with the circumstance that no work on the law affecting building operations had been written by a Scottish lawyer: hence the idea to produce this book which, written as it has been entirely during evening hours and at broken intervals, does not profess to be exhaustive of its subject, or more than the suggestion of a more complete work on what is obviously an important branch of law. Notwithstanding its defects, it may prove of some use to members of my own profession, and also to architects and builders. The works which have been freely consulted are chiefly Rankine"s "Landownership," Irons" "Dean of Guild Court Practice," Glegg "On Reparation," Guthrie Smith "On Damages," Hudson "On Building Contracts," Emden "On Law regarding Building," and Roscoe"s "Digest of Building Cases." To the authors of these works I acknowledge my indebtedness. I am also obliged to the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Institute of Builders for certain of the forms printed in the Appendix.
