Excerpt from Treatise on Powers, Vol. 1 of 2: With Supplement, Bringing the New Enactments and Cases Down to 1841 It might, indeed, seem unreasonable to press the cited expressions of the learned author and others accompanying them to their full extent, and to construe them as nullifying the qualification contained in the preface to the first edition, and appearing in all the subsequent editions, - that he had in common with others to plead as an excuse for any inac curacies in so long a work, that it was written in moments snatched from the labours of his profession, with few Oppor tunities Of taking a continued and connected view of the subject and this might seem still more unreasonable as to the remarks contained in the advertisement to the second edition, since that advertisement does not appear in the later editions but still it was out Of the question, that any one having in contemplation the possibility of writing upon the same subject, should, in considering the prospects before him, altogether discard these expressions from his mind, - to say nothing of the high sanction supposed to be given to the work by the permission granted by the very learned person to whom the later editions are dedicated, to have his Lordship's name affixed to it.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise of Powers Nearly sixteen years have elapsed since the publication of the last edition of this work. During that period our Reports have been enriched by many cases on Powers of the highest importance, and several enactments improving that branch of the Law have been added to the statute book. All these, and indeed as far as reading and research enabled the author, everything which has occurred bearing on Powers, since August 1845, have found their place in the present edition. This task has not been accomplished without many sacrifices. The introduction, in a corrected form, to the last edition was originally published in the writer's edition of C. B. Gilbert on Uses. He was unwilling to alter or enlarge it; but as it is still to be found in the whole of the last edition of this work, and he was desirous of giving to the student a larger view of the doctrine of Uses, as a fit introduction to the subject of Powers, he has devoted the first chapter to Uses generally, and has introduced into it not only the intro duction to Gilbert, but also such of his own notes to that work, which has long been out of print, but which he does not intend to republish, as appeared to him of sufficient importance to be preserved.
