Excerpt from Cases for Analysis: Materials for Practice in Reading and Stating Reported Cases, Composing Head-Notes and Briefs, Criticising and Comparing Authorities, and Compiling Digests

Tms volume, consisting wholly' of 'eaees, has been pre pared as the basis for a course of instruction in the use of the reports. The student is expected to study the cases minutely, to state the facts and the results, to discover dicta, to determine the precise doctrine and weight of each decision, to compose head-notes, to com pare and criticise the cases, and to compile a digest. The cases have been selected chiefly because of supposed fit ness for such a course of study, a course intended not to teach any one branch of law, but simply to teach by practice the methods and principles adapted to the use of authorities in all branches. Yet an attempt has also been made to present cases that discuss or apply valuable principles of law.
