Book Description
"This book is a welcome addition to the Indian Legal Literature. The need for a Law dictionary specially adapted to the requirements of the Indian Lawyer has long been felt by the profession. The necessity for a Law Lexicon comprising in one Volume, all Statutory definitions and Judicial expositions of words and phrases, short explanatory notes on all provincial terms and peculiar words relating to local customs, sectarian usages and the many personal laws of the people as also terms peculiar to commerce, stock exchange, forensic medicine, mercantile, maritime and military law-the necessity for a comprehensive work of this kind has been felt by the Bench and the Bar.""THE LAW LEXICON supplies a real and long-felt want, and is the first of its kind in India. A perusal of the book shows that the labour bestowed on it by the Editors has not been spent in vain. Every page exhibits evidence of the industry, learning and judgment with which the work has been compiled. There is instructive matter on every subject. It is far more than a book of word definitions. It ranges over a much wider field. It presents the pith of the law on several topics of absorbing interest. It contains varied and valuable matter both to the student of Laws as well as the practising Lawyer. It enables one to trace the Doctrines of Law to their early sources, and the other to investigate particular questions with special thoroughness."THE ENCYCLOPAEDIC LAW DICTIONARY ?
