Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Laws Regulating the Manufacture and Sale of Intoxicating Liquors
In regard to the plan of construction of the work, the author has not departed from the theories which have characterized his former contri butions to legal literature, and which, in his judgment, must serve to account for the very gratifying degree of favor with which those efforts have been received by his professional brethren. His constant aim has been to make a thoroughly practical treatise - a useful tool for the work ing lawyer. And to this end, he has endeavored to secure an orderly and scientific arrangement of his subject, a clear and concise statement of its rules and principles, and an abundant but judicious citation of authorities. No pains have been spared, in the way of section-headings, index, and other such helps, to make the contents of the hook easily and quickly accessible at any point. And for a similar reason. Parallel refer ences have been given, in the case of all decisions concurrently reported, to the various periodicals composing the National Reporter System, as also to the series of American Decisions and American Reports. The citations have been brought down to the present date.
Finally, although no branch of the subject has been unduly enlarged upon at the expense of the others, particular attention has been given to matters connected with criminal prosecutions under the liquor laws, to the doctrines of criminal responsibility and the constituent elements of the various statutory offenses, and to the rules applicable to the framing of indictments and the admissibility and sufficiency of evidence, as well in general as in relation to the specific crimes. It is thus hoped that those who may be called upon to prosecute or defend actions of this char acter will find the work specially serviceable to them in the office and the court-room. H. C. B.
