George H. Smith 
Law of Private Right 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

True theory of the law, which, though generally recognized by the jurists of other countries and former ages, seems, since the time of Austin, to have been lost to the profession in this country and England, and, indeed, to the English-speaking race generally. How far I have succeeded, it is not for me to say. But I may, at lea-st, claim for the work — whatever its merits or demerits in other respects — that it is a pioneer on the road that must be traveled before any improvement in the existing degenerate state of the law, and of its literature, can be looked for.
