Today's (2/4/2012) New Book Releases on Law

This volume features a selection of the best scholarship on international law as it is relevant to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The essays consider the nonproliferation legal regime as a normative system and offer a more discrete consideration of international law in each weapons of mass destruction technology area: nuclear weapons proliferation; chemical and biological weapons proliferation; and delivery systems proliferation. In addition, the essays consider the closely related questions of the role, authority and track record of the UN Security Council in monitoring, implementing and enforcing compliance with these primary sources of nonproliferation law.

Excerpt: A SERMON PREACHED IN CHRIST CHURCH, BRIGHTON, On Sunday Morning, November 20th, 1870, BY THE REV. JAMES VAUGHAN, M. A., Incumbent. " Sir, we would see Jeans." -- John xii. 21. The Greeks, originally sheer idolaters, who spoke these words to Philip, were themselves illustrations of the rule, that those who live up to the light they have, will be gradually led on to more. They were among those that came up to worship at the feast -- Jesus's last Passover -- so that they were either proselytes altogether, or at least, were companions of those who feared God -- that is, they had, either wholly or partly, given up heathenism. And this step was, according to God's moral government, rewarded by another. A desire came into their hearts -- awakened no doubt by the stupendous miracle of which all Th Bbighton Pulpit.] [No. 717. Jerusalem was full that day, the rising of Lazarus -- to become acquainted with Christ. That they did see Him after Philip and Andrew had mentioned to Christ their desire, though we have no account of the interview, there can be no reasonable doubt; and very little indeed as to what was the issue of the conversation. It was in this manner, as we have every reason to believe, these men were converted -- a conscientious step, a good desire, a contact with Christ, truth. It has often been made matter of difference of opinion, how persons become Christians. Is there first a giving up of what is wrong and false, and then an intermediate stage, in which a person feels nothing and is nothing, and then does truth, taking occasion by the vacuum, enter the mind ? Is this the way ? Or, doe...

Excerpt: ... asking them about the state and condition of fences that you have actually seen. It is very singular that the other side has only examined as to the state and condition of the northern fence of the pasture, they have examined nothing about the eastern or western parts of the fence. Their questions have all been, What have you seen on the north side, from the water rail to a place in Swinnergill called Hind Hole? and, I take it for granted, by their silence upon that head, that there is a good fence on the east and west sides, natural indeed in some places, but in others artificial. And, gentlemen, if I find three sides of a field actually inclosed, I am justified in supposing the fourth side must have been, or was intended to be inclosed; because I eannot conceive that any person would have erected three sides of a fence for no purpose at all; and the existence of fences on the east and west is just as material to the purpose of this question, and to Mr. Smith's title, as the existence of a fence on the north side of the pasture, and yet the plaintiff has confined his evidence merely to this, whether there was any fence on the north side. I am instructed that you have seen the traces of a fence, not only on the east and west sides of the pasture, but also the traces of a fence on the north side; that there are ltone walls built where the fears or rocks did not make a natural fence; that whenever the nature of the ground did not permit a wall to be made, there was a sod fence, with a gutter on each side, and you must have remarked that this is not modern work, or like those walls that are found in other places upon the wastes; for here are the regular vestiges of a wall at each angle, and there are in other places, if any person would take the pains (which...

Excerpt: ... Improving North Dakota Bar, AtMISSI'?vTl Requirements II Lauriz Vold, Professor of Law, University of North Dakota (Continued from the issue of October, 1922. See pp. 59 to 76) C. Objections To The Raising Of Bar Admission Requirements The objections to the raising of bar admission requirements rhat are met with in various forms and under various disguises may be summarized under four general heads. In the first place it is objected that requiring a college education does not improve the standard of the profession. In the second place it is contended that raising the requirements for admission to the bar is unjust in that it imposes the hardship of excluding the poor man's son who has to work for a living. In the third place it is contended that it would be undemocratic to raise the standard for admission to the bar beyond the reach of the bulk of the population. In the fourth place is inertia, the conservative attitude which instinctively objects to change beacuse it is change, which wants to let well enough alone because it is instinctively thought that as things were in the beginning so are they now, and should continue to be without end thruout all eternity. Attention may therefore appropriately be given to each of these objections in turn. I. Futility Of College Education The first objection, that the requirement of a college education is useless, is not usually seriously made as an objection by itself but is usually connected in some way with the argument that raising requirements makes it too hard for the poor boy. It is occasionally stated, however, that a college education is for the purpose of legal preparation futile as a definite requirement,1 and the explanation proceeds on the basis that bad as well as good can come out of college education ...

Excerpt: ... The southern extremity of the Loch is altogether of another character; the mountains recede from each other, and thus display an ample surface of water; they also are less bold and lofty, assuming the aspect of beauty, instead of sublimity. Many a wooded island lies sleeping in the placid lake, which reflects every rock and tree with the fidelity of a mirror. The sun sets brightly over the western hills, illuming the summits of Ben Lomond with his glorious rays; the shadows are growing longer and longer; and the grey of twilight is steal ing on the eastern clouds. Passing the residence of Smollett, we arrived at fialloch, where I remained for the night. I parted with Mr. F and his daughter, who were going on to Glasgow. He gave me a very cordial invitation to come and see him, in order that he might shew me a coal-mine. Thus, at last, I have contrived to see this celebrated lake, which most richly merits the praises which it has received. It combines in itself an epitome of all the other Scotch lakes, and from the great variety of its scenery, ranks justly pre-eminent among them all. September 25.--Another equinoctial day, with rain and furious wind. I asked the captain of the steamer whether he would undertake to landmeatRowerdinnan, (in which case I should have ascended Ben Lomond, if clear weather; or walked over its shoulder to Aberfoil) 34400IB but the Scot would not promise, saying the wind was hard on the eastern shore. I had therefore no alternative but to get back to Callander by land. I hired a gig to Aberfoil; we passed through Drumond: in the house now used as a toll-bar, "the Dougal creature" is said to have lived; and I now found myself in the heart of the territory of the Gregarach. It is a wild moorish tract of country--fit resort for robb...

Excerpt: ... XIII JUDGE LOGAN AND LINCOLN HE terms of Lincoln's partnership with A Judge Logan are not known, but it may reasonably be inferred that the junior member of the firm received only a small percentage of the fees, for the business was almost entirely Logan's, and he was not by nature over-generous. Indeed, he had quarreled with his former partner, the brilliant orator Edward Dickenson Baker, on monetary matters; and it is probable that there were few members of the bar who would have been as tractable as Lincoln on the question of compensation. Certainly his style of living at that period indicated a very slender revenue, considering the standing of the firm; for even after his marriage with Miss Mary Todd, in November, 1842, he and his wife were not able to keep house, but lived at the Globe Tavern, where their room and board cost only four dollars a week; and still later in the partnership he wrote that he could not accept an invitation to visit Kentucky "because he was so poor and made so little headway that he dropped back in a month of idleness as much as he gained in a year's sowing." During all this time, however, the practice of the firm was steadily increasing and Logan was becoming rich; so it is fair to assume that Lincoln was not receiving the lion's share of the profits. It would have been surprising if business had not been prosperous, for the partners worked together in entire harmony, and Springfield was at that time the center of all things legal in Illinois. Not only were the United States courts located there, but the County Court, the Circuit Court, and the Supreme Court (the tribunal of last resort), and the State legislature likewise, held their sessions in the city, and the indications are that the firm reaped a rich harvest from all ...

ON THE POWERS VESTED IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, RELATIVE TO SECURITY FROM FOREIGN DANGER. We are now to enter upon the seeond general division of our subject, which relates to " the nature, extent, and limitation of the powers vested in the Federal Government, and the restraints imposed by the Constitution on the states." The powers conferred on the National Government may be reduced, as I have already mentioned, to different classes, as they relate to the following different objects, viz.: First. Security from foreign danger. Second. Intercourse with foreign nations. Third. Harmony among the states. Fourth. Miscellaneous objects of general utility. Fifth. Restrictions on the powers of the states ; and, Sixth. Provisions for giving efficacy to the powers vested in the Union. As security from foreign danger is one of the primary objects of civil society, so it was an avowed and essential purpose of the union of the states ; and, accordingly, the powers requisite to attaining it were' effectually confided to the National Government, and consist, 1 st. Of the powers of declaring war, and granting letters of marque and reprisal. 2d. Of making rules concerning captures by land , and water. 3d. Of providing armies and fleets, and of regu- latiiig and calling forth the militia of the states ; ; uil, as connected with these, the substantive and distinct power of levying taxes and borrowing money. I. The right of s...

This sect. will, in the cases of manslaughter, rape, sodomy, bestiality, etc, enable the jury, if the evidence point to such a conclusion, to acquit the prisoner of the felony, but find him guilty of an attempt to commit it.

Excerpt: ... ignorant and vicious, and that the girl was a sort of goblin sprite--such a compound of mischief and malice as was never known since the days of witchcraft. Was there an ugly profile drawn on the ante-room wall, a green pumpkin found in the Principal's hat, or an ink bottle upset in the water bucket, half a hundred juvenile tongues were ready to exclaim, "Mrs. Walker's Betsey," notwithstanding the fact that very few of these misdemeanors were proved against her, but whether proved or not, she laughed at or defied them, as her mood might be. One warm afternoon in the month of July, the sun, which in the morning had been clouded, blazed out fiercely at the hour of dismissal, and shrinking from the prospect of an unsheltered walk, I looked around in vain for.my parasol. The girls of my class searched without success, and, as usual, accused Mrs'. Walker's Betsey. I asked them to wait a few days for further developments. "Remember," said Alice Way, as we parted at her father's gate, "you promised to take us a nice walk after tea, to the place where you found those beautiful flowers yesterday. We want you to guide us straight to the spot, please." "Yes," said Mary Graham, "and we will take our botanies, to analyze the flowers, you know." My assent was given, and when the sun was low in the west we started forth, walking nearly the whole distance in the shade of the hill, climbed the ridge, rested a moment, then went? in search of the flowers. "Stop, Miss Burke," came in suppressed whispers from my group, as emerging from a thicket we came in sight of a queer object perched among dead sticks and leaves. It was a diminutive child who might be ten or twelve years of age. A brown, weird face it was, with keen eyes peering out from a stringy mass of hair that stragg...

Excerpt: ... Venting the murderous spleen of the endless Railway Committee. Hither the Marquis of Ayr, and Dalgarnish Earl and Croupier, And at their side, amid murmurs of welcome, long-looked for, himself too Eager, the gray, but boy-hearted Sir Hector, the Chief and the Chairman. Then was the dinner served, and the Minister asked a blessing, And to the viands before them with knife and with fork they beset them; Venison, the red and the roe, with mutton; and grouse succeeding; Such was the feast, with whiskey of course, and at top and bottom Small decanters of Sherry, not overchoice, for the gentry. So to the viands before them with laughter and chat they beset them. And, when on flesh and on fowl had appetite duly been sated, Up rose the Catholic Priest and returned God thanks for the dinner. Then on all tables were set black bottles of well-mixed toddy, And, with the bottles and glasses before them, they sat digesting, Talking, enjoying, but chiefly awaiting the toasts and speeches. Spare me, O mighty Remembrance! for words to the task were unequal, Spare me, O mistress of Song! nor bid me recount minutely All that was said and done o'er the well-mixed tempting toddy, Bid me not show in detail, grimace and gesture painting, How were healths proposed and drunk with all the honours, Glasses and bonnets waving, and three-times-three thrice over, Queen, and Prince, and Army, and Landlords all, and Keepers; Bid me not, grammar defying, repeat from grammar-defiers Long constructions strange and plusquam-thucydidean, Tell, how as sudden torrent in time of speat in the mountain Hurries six ways at once, and takes at last to the roughest, Or as the practised rider at Astley's or Franconi's Skilfully, boldly bestrides many steeds at once in the gallop, Crossing from this t...

Excerpt: ... overtures for the bettering of the Chapell, whilk I wald your Maiestie might be pleased to consider, etc." With his wonted impetuosity, James sanctioned Bishop Bellenden's proposal, by granting a signature authorising the members of the Chapel Royal to receive the fruits of other chaplainries, prebendaries, and altarages throughout the kingdom. As such a royal order was likely to excite much disaffection, Sir Alexander Napier, the Treasurer-Depute, in a letter dated 1st August 1623,t entreated the king to rescind it. It was rescinded accordingly. Unaware of the counter movement, the bishopdean and the prebendaries re-despatched to court their treasurer, James Law, J with a memorial to the.king renewing their request. This memorial, dated 5th August 1623, set forth that several of their number had only three pounds sterling by the year, others no recompense whatever, adding, "the haill rent dew to ws all not exceiding ane hundreth merkis sterling." The memorialists then thanked the king for his own "royall and religious dispositioun for repaireing the breaches thereof, especiallie in such a tyme when the erecting of it finds so vniversall ane oppositioun and contradiction of all sorts of people, from the highest to the tumultuarie vulgar." They next refer to the king's inclination " to re-erect the Original Letters, p. 715. + Ibid., p. 720.

Excerpt: ... of our officers, was during the whole of this day dangerously ill, and the medicine exhausted. 9th--The morn was ushered in by a succession of peals of thunder, almost incessant flashes of lightning, and frequent severe squalls. Towards evening the severity of the weather somewhat abated. About midnight we were summoned from oar wretched resting places, to witness the last sad disposal of poor O'brien's remains; he had expired about ten minutes before in the arms of Captain Skerrett. The uncom riioti interest taken by this gentleman, in the sufferings and untimely fate of young O'brien, was 1 perhaps increased by those paternal feelings, which, as the father of a family, he so often in--, tfulged; a tear was all that any of us could afford, as tangible consolation was not in our power, and sorrow and regret were the only species of alleviation we could bestow ftpoft the death-bed sufferings of Our companion. The body was wrapped in a sack, and towards oneVclock, on the morning of the 10th, committed to its watery abode. The awful solemnity of the midnight obsequies, were much increased by the continued peals of thunder which interrupted the gentle" mtrrmu rings of the breeze, and the vivid flashes of lightning gave us, amid the darkness, a transient and final view of the body as it. "t sunk to repose in the vast abyss. Shortly after the mournful rites were concluded, 1 perceived a man in an attitude of devotion; I slowly ap-, proached, an.l,as he rose from his knees, recognized my revered friend Skerkett. As he brushed the rolling tear from his manly cheekhe spoke of O'brien, and, for the moment, such was the agonizing state of his mind, yielded to despair; giving up aslost for ever, his family, his home, his country. The fever raged below, and during the...

ON THE FALLEN NATURE OF MAN. Tlr. t which is born of the flesh li flesh, and that which Is born of the Spirit is -p. m. Miini-l not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John iii. a, 7. In this conversation with Nicodemus, our Lord instructs liim in the three grand doctrines of the gospel, which Ber- ridge used to call the three R's, -- ruin, redemption, regeneration. Man's ruin is twofold, internal and external; and th gospel provides a twofold remedy to meet it. He has exposed himself to the curse of God's riehteous law, and a remedy is provided in "the redemption which is in Christ Jesus": he has also lost the image of God, after which he was "created in righteousness and tfue holiness," and a remedy is provided in the regeneration or new birth of the Holy Spirit. Now the first thing to observe is, that Christ here insists on the necessity of every man being born again, before he can see the kingdom of God; "except a man" being of course equal to except any or every man: and the next is, the grounds on which he rests that necessity. Nicodemus being surprised at what he had just heard about the new birth, Jesus explains it to him more fully, and shows him why it was so universally necessary: " That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." By referring to Gal. v. 17 -- 23, you will see at once the meaning of the word flesh, when thus contrasted with the Spirit, namely, the evil principle which is inherent in our nature; and this is the only meaning that will make any sense of our Lord's argument. As every man receives at his birth the...

Excerpt: Meanwhile, my dearest Mary, consider yourself my dearly beloved wife, and Believe me, Your affectionate, But wandering Husband, VV. M. Mrs. W. M. XXXIII. . Indianapolis, Capital Of Indiana, 24th Oct., 1869. My Dearest Wife, It is rather provoking that, for all my letters to you, I cannot get one in return; and yet I have no doubt you are " making tracks," as they say here, to flood me with sweet remembrances when I get to New York. When I had " done " Canada, I found I had not got over ground so fast as I should have done, so altered my course considerably, and made tracks for this State. I do not know how I may find the eastern " Yankees," but I have found, so far, those of this west country very agreeable to meet. They have none of the very sharp character I had been brought up to believe in, but are industrious, friendly and honest-like. I have found no sharp practices in them, and their public proprieties are at least equal, and, in certain respects, much better than ours. Their sobriety is evident, and their well-bred respect for each other is pleasant to see. No doubt they have plenty of elbow room in every sense, and do not require to jostle each other whilst rubbing along either the streets or the world To-day I sallied forth in search of a Presbyterian Church, and was directed to one, which turned out to be what their hymn books indicated, Plymouth Congregation- alists. Had it not been for the name, I could not have told the difference from a Presbyterian. There was this difference from any church I have been in in the States -- the congregation sangheartily, notwithstanding the inst...

The judges shall not hold any other office or public trust; shall not practice law. Qualifications of Judges. Must have held a judicial station in the United States, or have practiced law for five years. Sessions. Shall hold a session annually at Richmond, Wytheville, and Staunton. The Judiciary Department is that part of government which is administered by judges. All the courts of law in the State in which judges sit and hear and decide cases, or all the judges of the State regarded as one body, may be called the judiciary. The highest court in the State is the Supreme Court of Appeals. It has five judges, who are elected by the General Assembly and hold office for twelve years. The five judges appoint one of their number to be president of the court, and they appoint or select another who must reside at the seat of government. While they hold office as judges of the Court of Appeals they are not allowed to practice law -- that is, to act as attorney or counsel (see under Attorney-General, page 29). Judicial station is the station or rank or office of a judge. A person cannot be elected judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals unless he has previously been a judge in the United States, or has practiced law for five years.

Excerpt: ... LECTURES THE GENTLENESS OF THE SCOTCH, AS EXPRESSED IN THEIR POETRY AND SONGS. Delivered first before the Gait Mechanics' Institute. I may state the cause of my putting pen to paper, on the subject of lecture. I got a very polite invitation from the Secretary of the Gait Mechanics' Institute to speak on some Scotch subject, at a meeting held on Burns' Anniversary. I declined on account of health; yet I said I had a warm heart, both to the Mechanics' Institute and Scotland. Further, I desired not only to help them but also our own Institute in Ayr. I mentioned a subject that I thought I might speak on for a quarter of an hour--the gentleness of the Scotch, as expressed in their poetry and songs. I began to write for amusement. I mentioned the "bee" that was in my bonnet to Mr. Soutar, and he approved of it. The issue is, we are here assembled to discuss this topic. A word further; I am not very sure that those people who are generally, not to say continually, light-hearted, can equal an habitually grave man in a genuine side-aching laugh. I have in my eye the manly, glorious laugh of one of our greatest of existing Scotchmen when the suitable time and place gave opportunity. For the most genial refined intercourse, what a lasting effect laughter, full an.d free, when used like salt in our food, has upon sensible men. Many people are select of their company when they relax and take a laugh. You have heard of a company called to order by one of their number, saying: "Whisht, there is ane o' the fules comin'." A phase of Scotch character rarely touched upon, it may seem to some to indicate a measure of presumption' in the subject of lecture. What, it may be asked, have I or anybody in these days seen about either one nation or another that has not been seen a...

Excerpt: ... "Mulierem fortem quis inveniet?"--" Who shall find the valiant woman?" Y sisters, if you have reflected on the fundamental idea in the different meditations which we have made together this week, you must have seen what our Lord especially demands of you is a co-operation in the divine aim for which God has given you life. I said that you were created to glorify God; your aim is His glory; your destiny, His honour. And when we studied the obstacles which you might meet with in your endeavours to attain to this end, we found that they were your weakness, your self-love, the exaggeration of your own personality, the spirit of worldliness, the thousand futilities of life, the thousand trivialities with which you are surrounded. I told you also that besides your own selves, and besides the world, there was the evil spirit, the tempter; I depicted to you his prodigious hatred of virtue, of truth, of all that is good; I added that sooner or later the tempter drew nigh to every soul as he drew near to Eve amidst the joys of Eden, and to our great Master in the loneliness of the desert. I said that you might overcome this three-fold obstacle, not by a vague sentimentality, not by an exaggerated piety, not by a sort of parade religion, made up of religious observances, but by a strong conviction, based on reason, and especially by the intelligent comprehension of the great truths of religion, of that which I have called the supernatural life within you; a life better than your mere human life; a higher life than your terrestrial life; you must have the conviction of faith, a firm faith, a faith which propagates itself, a faith which shines on all around you. I told you also that in order to overcome the obstacles sacrifice was necessary. It is only by sacrifice th...

Excerpt: ON THE NATURE OF MYTHICAL HISTORY AND ON TRADITIONS. As I shall have occasion several times to use the word myth, it may be convenient that I should state here the meaning which I shall attach to it. When the origin of a broad law of nature, or of an extensive national peculiarity, is ascribed in the first instance to facts stated as historical in the personal history of one or two individual persons, then I consider such ostensible history as a myth. It has not the most trifling claim to be considered as historical, or true, or as having any meaning whatever except that of condensing into a personal form some extensive law of nature. Its tendency will generally be given by the interest or the guiding theory of the narrator. In using the word traditions, I shall confine the meaning of the word to special family histories and national histories; such as, in their nature, may apply, without departure from the ordinary laws of human proceedings, and, in fact, may or may not be true records of past events. The tendency of those preserved (which, probably, are only a part of those which have come down to the writer), as ofmyths, will generally be given by the interest or leading theory. Before examining accounts which, as relating to matters purporting to have occurred long before the age of the narrator, may be myths or may be traditions, it is necessary to enquire what were probably the interest arid the guiding theory of the narrator. For this purpose, we must collect the principal events in the life of Moses. THE HISTORY OF MOSES. It is recorded, and there app...

Excerpt: ... significance by the contents of the preliminary Report; and it was with an accurate memory of that impression, and in perfect accordance with it, that I answered Colonel Tulloch's questions before this Board. The Separation Of The Men From Their Knapsacks. The Report contains some observations respecting the separation of the men from their knapsacks. This is a matter specially within the department of the Adjutant-General; but, General Estcourt being no more, I am willing to give any information which the Board may think fit to require from me as to the reasons which led to the adoption of the measure. The Board intimated a wish that Major-General Sir Richard Airey would inform them as to the reasons which led to the separation of the men from their knapsacks. It was at a later period of the day that this intimation was given, but it is thought convenient to introduce the statement which it elicited at this place. Whilst the army was on board ship, crossing the Black Sea, it suffered so much from cholera and other complaints, that we were throwing men overboard during the whole of the passage. It had always been hoped and thought that the health of the troops would improve at sea, and that they would be invigorated by the passage; but it was not so; they fell away very fast indeed; and even those who escaped serious illness were not in such a state of bodily health as to be capable of their usual exertions. Lord Raglan was very anxious about the failing strength of the men, and when we got off the Crimean coast, he thought it advisable to let them land in as light marching order as possible. In Bulgaria we had had occasionally to march short distances, and change the ground, and change the camp, but not to march more than five or six miles; yet the men h...

CHARACTER OF THE LEPTINEAN ORATIOK. This Oration, one of the first which established the high reputation of Demosthenes for eloquence, has always been greatly admired. Ancient critics, among whom it bore the title of the " Oration on the Immunities," are unanimous in praising it: nor has it received less commendation in modern times. It is not animated with the glowing eloquence of the Philippics, but it has merits and beauties of another kind. Here we have Demosthenes in the character of the sound constitutional lawyer, or rather the sagacious politician, warning his countrymen against the dangers of an unwise measure of legislation. The speech is such as an enlightened member of the English Parliament might address to the House of Lords or Commons, or to a Committee, upon the merits of some proposed bill or its clauses: with this difference however, that it is a rare thing for an Englishman to produce an elaborate work of art like this which the Athenian has handed down to posterity. Dionysius says, that of all the speeches of Demosthenes this is the most elegant and perfect in point of composition.1 Cicero speaks of it as being peculiarly subtle in argument. Undoubtedly one of the remarkable characteristics of this Oration is its close, careful, and (speaking in a good sense) artfnl method of reasoning. But on another ground also it merits our peculiar attention; I mean, for the purity of sentiment and high tone of political morality which it breathes throughout. This, which in some measure redounds to the credit of the Athenians themselves, has not esca...

Cruelty defined -- What is sufficient justification for giving Pain? -- Not merely the good of the sufferer -- Nor his consent -- But the attainment of an adequate benefit -- Benefits aimed at in Physiological Experiment -- These surpass the evil of Pain in quality -- And exceed it in quantity -- Consequently the benefit aimed at is adequate -- Answer to objection. We are all agreed that cruelty is wrong. The question to be solved, therefore, is : -- What is cruelty ? The simplest thorough definition seems to be: -- The wanton or excessive infliction of pain. The wanton infliction of pain is that for which thoce is no justification; the excessive is that for which there is justification in fact, but not in degree. Both terms imply that there can be such justification. Let us try to ascertain what it is. The first consideration that suggests itself is -- that it is justifiable to inflict pain upon another for its own good. We act upon this principle constantly, with clear consciences, and in the cases of those whom we love best. In the education of children, and the care of the sick, or in the treatment of criminals -- who are socially children, and morally sick -- we do not hesitate to refuse what is pleasant, and enforce what is painful. But this principle is not asufficient guide. It is quite possible to do something which is really cruel, for the good of the sufferer. Let us suppose a case. Two children -- a boy and a girl -- are disfigured by teeth which have been allowed to grow crooked. The mi...

Excerpt: ... Chapter VIII. THE DUTIES OF PRINCIPAL AND AGENT TO THIRD PERSONS. Section 53. Of Agent To Third Person. The agent disclosing his principal's name, and making the contract as such agent, cannot be held liable on the contract to the third person. The agent may, of course, by express agreement, make himself liable with the principal, or he may, too, so word, the contract as to bind himself, where he really intended to bind the principal. The agent must, however, have authority from a competent principal and must disclose his principal's name. Section 54. Liability In Tort. As to the torts of an agent, the rule is the contrary to the rule as to his acts in contracting. The agent is bound to third persons, who are injured by his wrongful acts, even though they are done by him solely as agent, and this is true whether they are, or are not done under authority from the principal. Every wrong doer must answer for his acts. The fact, that the principal is also liable, would not be a defense. An agent must also answert o a third person for a false warranty of authority to act. Section 55. Money Paid To Agent. If a third person pays money to agent under mistake, and demand is made on the agent to return the money to the third person, the agent would be liable for the payment of the money, but if the agent pays over such money to his principal before he has notice to repay it to the third person, he is not personally liable for the money.1 Where the agent assumes to act as principal, he cannot free himself from liability for money received under mistake where he pays it over to his undisclosed principal. Section 56. Of Principal To Third Parties. Once an agent is invested with authority, as such, he becomes the hand of the principal, or is the principal in law so far...

What enterprises will not an inordinate passion for fame suggest? t prompted one man to fire the Temple of Ephesus; another, to fling himself into a volcano; and now has induced this wicked and unfortunate 'squire either to deny his own feelings, or to publish to all the world that he has no feelings at all. This ieing the 5th of November, is the worst of all days in the year for letter-writing. Continually called upon to remember the bonfire, one is apt to forget every thing else. The boys at Oiney have likewise a very entertaining sport, which commences annually upon this day. They call it Hockey; and it consists in dashing each other with mud, and the windows also, so that I am forced to rise now and then, and to threaten them with a horsewhip to preserve our own. We know that the Roman boys whipped tops, trundled the hoop, and played at tennis; but I believe we nowhere read that they delighted in these filthy aspersions: I am inclined, therefore, to give to the slovenly but ingenious youths of Olney full credit for the invention. The playful spirit in which the writer adverts to ihis subject appears to have yielded afterwards to a feeling of indignation; the following lines in his own hand-writing having been found by the Editor amongst his papers:--On the Author of Letters on Literature. The Genius of th' Augustan age His head among Rome's ruins reared. And bursting with heroic rage, Vhen literary Heron appeared.

Excerpt: ... STATUTE WITH RESPECT TO THE REPARA-TION OF DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE EVENTS OF THE WAR Enacted April 18, 1919. TITLE I. General Provisions. Article 1. The Republic proclaims as a principle that all Frenchmen are to bear equally the expenses of the war. The word "solidarite" used in this connection may be best explained by referring to the contrast between the obligatio in solidum of the Roman law, and the joint and several obligation in our law. In our law where there is a plurality of creditors they are always joint creditors, whereas a plurality of debtors may be either joint or several. In the civil law the obligation may be solidary both with respect to the creditors and with respect to the debtors--that is, there may be joint and several debtors as well as joint and several creditors. All Frenchmen in their capacity of sufferers are joint and several creditors, and all Frenchman in theii capacity of taxpayers are joint and several debtors to repair the damage. It is almost impossible to put such a conception into English because we have no occasion for a word to express such an idea. Article 2. Certain, material and direct damage in France or in Algiers to immovable or movable property caused by the events of the war shall give rise to the right for the specific reparation provided by Article 12 of the. Statute of December 26, 1914, without prejudice to the right of the French government to make claim for payment therefor from the enemy. In particular the following shall be regarded as damages resulting from the events of the war: 1. All requisitions levied by enemy authorities or troops, levies in kind in whatever form made, even if under the form of occupation, billeting or cantonment, as well as imposts, contributions of war, and penalties whether exa...
