Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farmers' Manual of Law: Principles of Private Substantive Law; A Manual of Law Adapted for the Use of Farmers and Students in Agricultural Colleges The author has long felt that the farmer ought to have prepared for him a law book which would especially meet his needs. The farmer is not situated so that he can attend evening law classes or other schools where instruction in law is given, yet almost no one else is liable to encounter a greater variety of legal problems, and he has sufficient leisure time during the year to acquire a practical knowledge of the law if it were in such form as to be available in his own home and by his own fireside. The author has been engaged in the preparation of other law books and articles up to this time, but at last he has found time to take up the preparation of a manual of the law for the use of farmers in their homes and in agricultural colleges (as soon as the latter awake to the necessity of teaching law). The whole of private substantive law is treated in this book. This includes all the rights of men for which the state will provide remedies, as well as the rights to such remedies, the methods by which the state aids and protects such rights alone being omitted. The farmer is liable to have arise a question involving any branch of private substantive law, and therefore he should know something about all of it. He need not fear that there may possibly be a great domain of law outside of this book which might greatly affect his case if he could only know about it. However, the farmer is more likely to have questions involving certain branches of the law than others. The branches of the law he is least likely to need receive the shortest treatment, and the branches he is most likely to need, the longest treatment. Public substantive law is not treated in this book, for it concerns society as a whole rather than the individual farmer. The methods by which his antecedent and remedial rights are aided and protected, or adjective law, is also not treated herein. If the farmer finds that he must have a lawsuit, he had probably better engage a reputable attorney. He could appear for himself, but the law of pleading, practice, and evidence is so technical (perhaps unnecessarily so), that it would probably be advisable to allow an attorney to handle his case in those respects.
