Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Roads and Streets, Vol. 1 This work has occupied a field of its own since its first publication in 1890. Shortly after the publication of the second edition of Roads and Streets, the American Law Review published a carefully prepared tabulation of the citation of text-books in the reports of the courts for the year. Such tabulation shows that this book was the only one on the general subject to be cited often enough to be included, and that it was not exceeded in number of times cited by any book of similar size and scope on any subject of the law. In order to economize space much matter that ordinarily would find a place in the text has been included in the notes. In many instances the reasons for a rule, and the exception or the distinction are elabo rated in these notes. The notes are thoroughly indexed, The section numbers of the earlier edition are retained and appear in brackets following the bold face numbers adopted for this edition.

Excerpt from Thompson's Treatise on the Law of Highways: Including Ways, Bridges, Tunnels, Strays, Railroads in Streets, Elevated Roads, Turnpikes, and Plank Roads, Etc;; With an Appendix of Forms No apology is necessary to account for the appearance of another edition of this work. Since the third edition was issued in 1880 there have been nine years of law-making, during which the Legislature has passed seventy laws relating to the general subject of highways, besides a large number of local acts; and in the numerous cases reported in thirty volumes of the Court of Appeals Reports, twenty-seven of Supreme Court Reports and twenty-six of the New York State Reporter, the courts have endeavored to bring order out of the chaos occasioned by hasty legislation. Among other important changes the liability of towns for damages has been established by chapter 700 of the Laws of 1881, and the courts have passed upon this point in many important cases. The subjects of telegraph poles, elevated railroads, railroads in streets, and kindred topics, have been litigated, and while the questions involved have not yet been satisfactorily settled, an advance has been made which has materially altered their status in the courts. All the cases bearing upon these subjects, as well as the ones already embraced in the work, have been studied, and their effect upon the previous laws carefully noted; the entire work has been thoroughly revised, and every authority verified. In the later cases the date has been given, so that the effect of laws passed after their appearance may be guarded against by the practitioner. The work embraces decisions contained in 26 N. Y. State Reporter, 114 New York Reports, 53 Hun, and also the Laws of 1889. I trust that this may receive the flattering reception accorded to the former editions, and may prove useful to the profession as well as to highway officers.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Highways L owe it to the Public to state by what chance it happened that the completion of the following work, commenced and partly written by one of the most celebrated of American law writers, fell into the hands of one so unknown to the Profession as myself. For some time previous to the decease of the late Joseph K. Angell, this book had been advertised as in prepara tion; but the more pressing demand for new editions of his former works continually retarded its appearance. In order.
