THIS volume might almost be described as the
result of a "fortuitous concurrence of atoms." The idea from which it
sprang will be sufficiently patent to all. That idea was that the Autumn
Recess, which falls to the lot of almost all professions in this
country, might be utilised in the preparation of calm and careful
judgments upon some of the questions occupying, or likely to occupy, the
minds of men in Parliament, or elsewhere. The great majority of the
writers are personal friends of the Editor's. They were invited to
contribute what to them might seem good on subjects in which they were
severally interested. The editorial function has confined itself to the
collecting of the following papers, which are now offered to the public
on the strict principle of limited liability, each writer having said
his say on his own subject, under his own name.
