"This is the first edition of this work which is not by P.G. Osborn. The author have not tried to improve the book. The fact that it went through five editions is a tribute to Osborn's choice of subject matter. His gift of pithy expression was admirably suited to a work of this character. The author have contented himself with bringing the book up to date, nevertheless the amount of alteration involved in covering the changes of law in the past decade has been very much more than might be expected in a concise law dictionary."
