PREFACE This volume is a collection of seven essays and lectures upon several aspects of the Effect of War upon the municipal or national law of England. They are only incidentally concerned with the emergency legislation, and aim rather at an estimate of the permanent impression made upon the law during the past five years of war. The seven chapters, though differing both in form and in the time of writing, bear traces of a common ancestry in this respect that they derive their origin from a course of lectures delivered as the Law Society's Lecturer in Commercial Law. For permission to reprint Chapters I, II, III and V from the Law Quarterly Review I wish to express my indebtedness to Sir Frederick Pollock. A. D. McN. GONVILLE AND CAIUS COLLEGE September, 1919.
