PREFACE

TO THE THIRD EDITION.

A THIRD Edition of this Guide having been called for I have prepared it to meet recent legislation as far as appears in the 9th edition to the Commentaries, and added the Answers to all the Examination Questions which have been asked since the publication of my last Edition. The fact of the Second Edition being out of print in so short a time speaks for the value of the work, and I would only add that I sincerely trust that the Third Edition may meet with even greater success than its predecessor.

PREFACE

TO THE FIRST EDITION.

THE fact of Stephen's Commentaries being set for the Intermediate Examination of 1880 necessitates my bringing out another Guide. I have founded my questions as well as I could on those set at bygone Examinations, and I have in many instances endeavoured to anticipate the Examiners-I hope with fair success. In my answers I have epitomised the subject-matter as much as possible, and I trust that Students will find the work a help towards mastering the contents of "The Commentaries."
