Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Index to Legal Periodical Literature I have attempted in this Index to refer to the articles relating to matters of law and legislation contained in the whole body of periodical literature in the English language published prior to January, 1887. To this end I have included references to the articles, papers, correspondence, annotated cases, and biographical notices in the legal journals of America, England, Scotland, Ireland, and the English Colonies; and to such articles in the principal literary reviews and magazines of these countries as seemed to belong properly to legal literature. I have also included references to the papers and proceedings of the American Bar Association, and of the various State Bar Associations; and also references to such of the papers and trans actions of the English and American Social Science Associations, and of the Statistical Society, as seemed to come within the scope Of this Index. I have given much attention to references to biographical articles relating to distinguished judges and lawyers, both living and deceased. Accordingly, such notices in all the journals and reviews, which seemed to be of value, even when brief, have been referred to. Moreover, all the reports Of the American courts, some three thousand volumes, have been examined volume by volume, in order to make references to the proceedings in court and eulogies upon the occasion of the decease Of eminent judges and lawyers. Generally, in references to biographical notices, the date of the birth and of the death (of deceased persons) is given after the names, 'thus serving to identify those referred to, and at the same time to afford in the Index itself this item Of information.
