From the PREFACE. THIS VOLUME is the last of a series projected more than a year ago relating to court matters and designed to furnish information to those who may be interested concerning the deficiencies of bench, bar, jury and the law. The subject of this volume is so large that it has been necessary to cram many facts into a small compass, and this has prevented the use of much ornamentation. The author has striven to strip the naked truth down to the very bone, relying upon the importance of the subject to win the attention of the reader. Some attention has been called to the fundamental errors in the organic laws of our national government and the methods employed in providing officials, but the most space has been devoted to considering that great body of doctrine known as the common law, which is in force in every state in the Union except Louisiana. This system is mainly relied upon to determine our civil rights, duties and responsibilities, and to provide redress for wrongs. It was not devised by any law-giver. It is not like a garden which some expert gardener has planted and trimmed, but is like a thicket which has been sown by the wind and trimmed by the whirlwind, where every kind of seed that could find a lodgment has grown the best it could, and trees of beauty and utility contend with briars, weeds and underbrush. Or perhaps it may be likened unto a garment made by a bungler in remote antiquity and on which every generation since has placed some patches, until it resembles a crazy-quilt in its variety of color and texture and is without any of the harmony that ordinarily pertains to that article. The laws defining our rights originated in compromises made between tyrants who ruled kingdoms or empires and tyrants who ruled dukedoms or manors. Many laws imposing duties arose out of the concessions of landlords and masters to tenants and serfs. The laws which provide remedies have emanated from the edicts of kings and military chieftains who, during brief periods between wars and dissipations, have devoted some time to devising methods for redressing the greater atrocities.
