Excerpt from Outlines of Criminal Law Some excuse seems necessary for adding to the now somewhat redundant stores of English legal literature another elementary manual of Criminal Law. The only justification I can offer lies in the fact that the present volume embodies the substance of lectures which have been delivered at Cambridge year by year throughout the past quarter of a century - a period long enough to afford even the least competent lecturer some opportunity of ascertaining what principles, and what illustrations, are so successful in arresting the attention and impressing the memory of students as to be worth putting before them in the earliest manual which they peruse.
