Those, however, who have rendered themselves acquainted with our law books, well know, that there exists in them a copious store of curious and interesting matter, which often enlivens those severer labours, of which information, and not entertainment, is the object. Intimately connected as the law is with other branches of knowledge, blended as it must always be with the history of the country which it governs, and over the institutions and manners of which it must always exercise a powerful influence, it would, indeed, be singular, if the study of such a science were wholly barren of interest. With the view of collecting together these scattered curiosities of the law books, the present compilation has been undertaken.": Preface i-ii. HLC II:900. Sweet & Maxwell 2:306.
