Excerpt from A Digest of the Law of Partnership Digest of the Criminal Law. This being said, it is almost superfluous to say that I agree with him in thinking the Indian Codes a desirable model for the exposition of English law, by authority if possible, but if and so far as that is too much to hope for, then by private endeavor; and that I likewise agree with the reasons which he has given for that opinion, both in the intro duction to his Digest of the Law of Evidence and on various other occasions. Some of those reasons, however, I may, without presumption, try to restate in my own way, this being a topic on which repetition is certainly not vain in the sense of being needless; and it seems also proper, in addition to this general statement, to explain why the subject of Partnership appears to me a specially fit one for an experiment of this kind.
