Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Criminal Law, for Use of Students
Whatever may be thought of the advantages or defects of the plan of giving instruction by oral lectures, there seemed to be no other course to pursue in reference to this subject, for the treatises on criminal law are too voluminous, to say nothing of their cost, for use in a course where but a portion of the time for not more than three weeks can be given to the study, and the smaller works which have been written, in general devote too large a portion of their space to discussing. Particular crimes, many of which are of comparatively small importance and regulated by statute, and give too little attention to those principles which are applicable to all crimes.
