Since there is so great a variety of opinion upon the best course for a young man to pursue, in attaining a knowledge of the law, it is quite impossible for any one writer or instructor, to point out a system of reading that will command, in extenso, the suffrages of all. It is not surprising, therefore, that various objections have been raised to Mr. Warren's work, but whether specious or real, no ingenuous student will rise from its perusal without obtaining some strength and assistance, that Avill be ser- viceable to him in the life-long study of the law. It stands at the head of all the works of its class, for amount and variety of information, felicity of illustration, and a spirit-stirring and sparkling style. " It professes to treat merely of legal studies, but it contains so much of general matter, that no student, be his aim what it may, can read these pages without profit. To judge of the merits of the book, it must be read." " Mr. Warren has amply repaid the debt due to his profession. He has done more; he has left the profession in debt to him." 9 Jurist, 403; (10) 13; 6 A. L. M. 477; 10 L. O. 68, 163; (30)338; 3 L. M. N. S. 281 ; 3 Law Rev. 67 ; 20 L. M. 1, 239 ; 8 L.
