Excerpt from The History of Conspiracy and Abuse of Legal ProcedureThis book was begun ten years ago as a piece of research on the history of the law of conspiracy. The scope of it widened to the history of abuse of legal procedure in general. Absence during the war almost completely interrupted its progress, and when work was resumed on it, it seemed better to state the modern law of abuse of legal procedure as well as its history. After completion of the manuscript, circumstances beyond my control made it necessary to detach the historical from the modern part and to publish each of these separately instead of as one book. This process of detachment was not altogether easy, and was found unworkable in the last two chapters, apart from them, the matter in this book is purely historical. The modern part will shortly appear under the title, The Present Law of Abuse of Legal Procedure, but will not be included as one of the volumes in Cambridge Studies in English Legal History, because that series is confined in its scope to the history of the law as distinct from the statement of its present principles. The historical evolution in the present work, however, leads naturally to the modern law set out in The Present Law of Abuse of Legal Procedure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
