Law for the Clergy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Law for the Clergy

The statutes of the several states mentioned in the title-page relating to these subjects and to religious assemblies, and the duties of clergymen involved therein or affected thereby, have been carefully compiled, and notes and practical forms ap pended to the sections to which thev relate for greater convem ience, affording, as it is hoped, a complete guide in all those matters. In the chapter upon the Common Law of Marriage, which gives a general view of the subject, treating of the quali fications of persons to enter that state and the impediments thereto, I have quoted largely from Kent's Commentaries, Tyler's Infancy and Coverture, Bishop's Marriage and Divorce, Bingham's Law of Infancy and Coverture, as well as from the Opinions and decisions of the courts in many important cases; and as the work is not intended for the legal profession, and the extracts made as above necessarily fragmentary, I do not give references.
