Excerpt from Mason on Highways: Containing the New York Highway Law
The form which this work has assumed readily suggests the purposes with which it is written: First, to furnish an annotated edition of the Highway Law of the State of New York, as enacted by the Legislature of 1890, in chapter 19 of the General Laws, and as amended to the close of the session of 1902, second, to bring together in one volume all the various statutes relating to highways, including not only the General Highway Law, but also all constitutional provisions and the many independent general statutes which relate to that subject, and, third, to furnish forms suitable for proceedings under these laws.
It has been sought to attain the first purpose of the work by a careful examination of all cases involving questions of highway law, including not only the recent decisions, but the older ones as well, the examination of the latter class being necessary to a larger degree than would have been conceived possible, owing to the fact that many sections of the law stand to-day, in substance, and, in many cases, in almost exact phraseology as in the Revised Statutes of 1828. This condition not only renders the inclusion of the older cases desirable, and, in the absence of later authorities, absolutely necessary, but it also leads to another result even more important to the practitioner and which would not be of such moment in the consideration of a statute of more recent origin - that is the many conflicting decisions resulting from over three-quarters of a century of interpretation of these statutes by the courts.
