Excerpt from Nationality, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Naturalization and English Law on the High Seas and Beyond the Realm; Nationality and Naturalization

In the First Part of this book I have endeavoured to unravel the law of British Nationality, with its allied subject, Naturalization.

This law lies almost entirely within the compass of the Naturalization Act of 1870. It has been considered in very few cases. But the fact that questions under this Act come so seldom before the Courts must not be taken to indicate that the existence of doubts as to a person's nationality is of rare occurrence. The nature of the subject is such that difficulties do not often arise before Courts of Law. There must be a multitude of persons who cannot say with certainty whether they are British subjects or not; but their most common trouble arises in the Consulates, and their plaints find their way into the columns of the newspapers.
