THE JOURNAL OF JURISPRUDENCE, 1857. INCLUDING THE PUBLIC GENERAL STATUTES RELATING TO SCOTLAND. 20 AND 21 VICT. (1857). VOL. I. EDINBURGH: T. & T. CLARK, LAW BOOKSELLERS, GEORGE STREET. GLASGOW: SMITH AND SON. ABERDEEN: WYLLIE AND SON. LONDON: STEVENS AND NORTON MDCCCLVII. NOTICE TO READERS. WITH this Number the First Volume of the JOURNAL OF JURISPRUDENCE is completed; and the Publishers take the opportunity of acknowledging the very large measure of support which they have received from the Profession and the Public, in their attempt to establish a Legal Periodical for Scotland. Considering the limited nature of the field, and the difficulties peculiar to a publication exclusively occupied with technical matters, and contributed to wholly by professional men during the hurried intervals of business of more pressing importance, the Publishers can, on the whole, review the first year of the JOURNAL'S existence with some degree of satisfaction. They are well aware that this, the first Volume, is imperfect in many particulars; but, profiting by past experience, and encouraged by the large share of public approval which they have received, they hope to make the publication next year still more worthy of professional support. In future numbers the original plan will be adhered to with some modifications. The same care will continue to be bestowed |
