Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal Maxims, Vol. 1: With Observations and Cases From the numerous inquiries made from time to time, by students and practitioners, for a full collection of Legal Maxims, the publishers were induced to reprint Mr. Wharton's work, which, perhaps, is the most popular of its kind, giving One Hundred of the principal Maxims, with a short essay on each, and referring to the most important cases in the various English reports. In addition to these, Mr. Wharton gives no less than Eight Hundred Latin Legal Maxims translated into English. The publishers know of no other work which gives so large a number as above named. But to render this edition still more serviceable to the American lawyer, the publishers, through the kindness of Mr. Austin Abbott, have been enabled to supplement Mr. Wharton's collection by the addition of Part III (taken from Abbott's New York Digest), giving several hundred Maxims which have been applied or commented on by the court of last resort, or other courts of general jurisdiction, of the State of New York, in the cases cited. This list includes, it is believed, all the most important legal Maxims occurring in American practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
