Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Leading Cases in Constitutional Law Briefly Stated: With Introduction, Excursuses, and Notes
Some knowledge of the chief cases in Constitutional Law is now required in many examinations, and is obviously necessary to the thorough student of our constitutional history. Yet there has existed no book briefly setting out the main principles decided in these cases, which are scattered through many volumes, and buried in prolix reports. Even Dr. Brooms book, although, in spite of its thousand pages, it is the nearest approach to anything of the kind, lacks the brevity and conciseness which are so necessary for the student.
What I have endeavoured to do is to extract the essence of all the cases with which the student is expected to be familiar, preserving always something of the concrete circumstance that is so helpful to the memory; to add, where necessary, a short note to the individual case; and to subjoin to each important group of cases some general remarks in the shape of an excursus. The cases are so arranged as to be convenient for ready reference, and while the treatment is very concise, I hope that it is sufficiently accurate.
