C 59 67 cl 3 PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION IN THE preface to the first edition of Clark's Criminal Law the author stated that the book was intended to present a concise, but full, statement of the general principles of the criminal law. In preparing this, the third edition, the editor has pursued the same object. The distinguishing method of treatment followed in the Hornbook Series has likewise been retained. The text of the first and second editions has been to a not inconsiderable extent revised and added to wherever such revision or addition seemed necessary or expedient. All important cases decided since the second edition was published have been studied, and the results incorporated either in the text or notes. CASTINE, MAINE, July 20, 1915. (v) W. E. M. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION IN PREPARING a new edition of Mr. Clark's book, no departure from the original plan of the author has been made. The book is intended, as explained in the preface to the first edition, to contain a concise, but full, statement of the general principles of the criminal law, exclusive of criminal procedure, which has been made the subject of a separate volume in the Hornbook Series by the same author. The editor has incorporated much new matter, which has necessitated changes in the original text, and has made other changes which were suggested to him by a use of the book in the classroom. Many additional cases, most of them reported since the first edition, but some of them earlier leading cases, have been cited. F. B. T. ST. PAUL, June 4, 1902. (vi) |
