An Index To Legal Periodical Literature 1908 1922 PDF Download

Excerpt from An Index to Legal Periodical Literature, Vol. 3: 1898-1908 The necessity and usefulness of an Index to Legal Periodical Literature is not to be questioned. Many minor topics of the law, which are wholly neglected or only briefly treated in the text-books, are often exhaustively treated in the legal journals by able lawyers. The great mass of the contributions to these periodicals has been made by lawyers and judges who are not authors of textbooks, and who have not published their articles in any other form. This volume indexes the leading articles, and such other lesser articles as seem of permanent value, published in the legal periodicals, printed in the English language, during the period from January, 1898, to December, 1907, as well as such articles printed during 1897 that were omitted from Jones, Vol. II. Altogether 512 volumes have been indexed. Several other sets were examined but were found to contain only cases or matter of no permanent interest. The general plan of this volume is somewhat different from that adopted by the late Judge Jones in the first two volumes of the series. It is also more elaborate than that of the Index to Legal Periodicals published for the American Association of Law Libraries since the beginning of 1908. The plan used in this volume is a combination of titles and subjects. It is designed more for the lawyer than the librarian. Use has been made of two digest classifications. The West Publishing Company has graciously allowed the compiler to make such use of their American Digest classification as he thought necessary in order to make this volume useful to the legal profession. The articles published in the English, Irish, Scotch, Canadian, and British Colonial periodicals have been classified under the Mews Digest scheme, the use of which is gratefully acknowledged. The author index is elaborate and is designed for the reader to locate any article indexed by reference to it alone. The Bar Association Reports, as such, have not been indexed. The compiler has found that most, if not all, of the principal articles and addresses printed therein were also published in the legal periodicals and are so made accessible to the users of this volume.
