It must be remembered that the work does not embrace the local laws of any Province, but only the laws of Canada. The elaborate works on the same subject in England contain much that is wholly inapplicable in Canada. In reference to Canadian law, it is believed that this work deals with every matter of importance contained in the English works, whilst its moderate size will render the different subjects of easy reference. In the summary of the criminal law, the various offences have been alphabetically arranged, and the latest cases in England and Canada, more particularly such as elucidate any principle or are of general application, have been cited. Should the work supply the want which I have reason to believe has been long felt by the magistracy, my aim and ambition will be abundantly satisfied. TORONTO, S. R. C. 22nd January, 1878.
