⁂ The Book will be found to comprise (amongst other matter)—

The Rights and Wrongs of Individuals—Landlord and Tenant—Vendors and Purchasers—Partners and Agents—Companies and Associations—Masters, Servants, and Workmen—Leases and Mortgages—Libel and Slander—Contracts and Agreements—Bonds and Bills of Sale—Cheques, Bills, and Notes—Railway and Shipping Law—Bankruptcy and Insurance—Borrowers, Lenders, and Sureties—Criminal Law—Parliamentary Elections—County Councils—Municipal Corporations—Parish Law, Church-wardens, etc.—Public Health and Nuisances—Copyright and Patents—Trade Marks and Designs—Husband and wife, Divorce, etc.—Trustees and Executors—Guardian and Ward, Infants, etc.—Game Laws and Sporting—Horses, Horse dealing, and Dogs—Inn-keepers, Licensing, etc.—Forms of Wills, Agreements etc. etc.

The object of this work is to enable those who consult it to help themselves to the law; and thereby to dispense, as far as possible, with professional assistance and advice. There are many wrongs and grievances which persons submit to from time to time through not knowing how or where to apply for redress; and many persons have as great a dread of a lawyer's office as of a lion's den. With this book at hand it is believed that many a Six-and-Eightpence may be saved; many a wrong redressed; many a right reclaimed; many a law suit avoided; and many an evil abated. The work has established itself as the standard legal adviser of all classes, and has also made a reputation for itself as a useful book of reference for lawyers residing at a distance from law libraries, who are glad to have at hand a work embodying recent decisions and enactments.
