Excerpt from The Law Quarterly Review, 1895, Vol. 11 Why are we receiving no more Year Books from Mr. Pike? The Introduction to his last volume was dated in August, 1891, and his previous exploits had led us to hope that we were to have at least one volume a year. We must ask him to remember that he is uniquely competent to carry on the work that he has admirably begun. He must forgive us if we say that even his interesting book on the House of Lords will not excuse him in the eyes of posterity if he abandons the important task on which he entered. The series in which his volumes have appeared is published under the direction of the Master of the Rolls.' We hope that the Master of the Rolls will forthwith direct that the publication of the Year Books shall go forward with all convenient speed, and shall not be suspended, at all events so long as there are any reports of the fourteenth century that have never been printed.

Excerpt from The Law Quarterly Review, 1896, Vol. 12 Gifts to persons where a confidential relation exists are another instance of wholesale severity on the part of our law - a severity growing out of the a1m08t invincible jealousy, ' as Lord Eldon describes it, with which the law regards such gifts. The policy of the law apart, a gift by a grateful cestui que trust to his trustee is not only legitimate but laudable - why indeed is there not more of such gratitude going 'l - or a gift by a client to his solicitor who has seen him safely through the horrors of litigation or the worries of a family' quarrel. In nine cases out of ten no advantage is taken of the relation, no confidence abused. But honest men must suffer for the possible misdeeds of knaves, and however innocent the gift by a client to his solicitor may be the law disallows it, unless the client donor has had independent legal advice. If there is a hardship, the law confesses and avoids it by the simple but astounding paradox that everybody knows the law. Nobody does know it, not judges, nor barristers, nor solicitors, much less doctors and guardians and trustees and such like; but the theory covers a social necessity. The true reason of the rule is that if the law were relaxed, fraud in these confidential relationships would multiply most undesirably. Hence the inevitable decision of the Court of Appeal in Liles v. Term, '9 5, 2 Ch. 679. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Law Magazine, or Quarterly Review of Jurisprudence, 1861, Vol. 14 Most opportunely, therefore, while all people are agreed that reform is needed (the only question being how far it can with safety and advantage be carried), and while the new Common Law Commission are issuing suggestions, halting and faltering, willing, perhaps, but unable, to free their minds from that peculiar tone which long and successful practice under our present system inevitably induces; while, too, some have been found to advocate our going over to Rome (in the present day rather a taking idea), there to find by means of a "Praetor" relief for our manifold legal miseries, and a cloud of pamphlets have appeared, each advocating some changes and exposing some acmses, -a practical people in the western hemisphere have appointed a commission, and quietly, expeditiously and cheaply (wishing, probably, to same our Criminal Law Commissioners, who have passed fifteen years, spent thousands, and published reports without end and without result), and out of laws similar to our own and derived from us, have created a simple, single, and intelligible judicial system, which has hitherto worked well in the state (New York) by which it was first sanctioned, and has in consequence been adopted by several other states of the American Union. This new system was explained at a meeting of the Law Amendment Society, on Monday, the 17th of November, by Mr. Field, one of the commissioners who prepared the Code above alluded to, and we now propose to introduce to our readers some of the leading provisions of this Code, which has made such radical changes in the old law, and which is said to answer fully and well every requirement of a practically intelligent and eminently commercial people. And here we must quote an admirable passage of Hallam (Mid. Ages), which, it appears to us, the New York commissioners have fully carried out: "Let us not be deterred by a clamour against innovation from abrogating what is useless, simplifying the complex, or determining what is doubtful, nor attempt to stave off an immediate pressing difficulty by a patch-work scheme of modifications and suspensions, but let us consult for posterity in a comprehensive spirit of legal philosophy." The instructions the commissioners received were indeed precise, and left them no room, had they desired it, to narrow their scope.
