THOMAS ATKINS STREET, A. M., LL. B.

VOL. I

THEORY AND PRINCIPLES OF TORT

EDWARD THOMPSON COMPANY

NORTHPORT, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.

"The law is always approaching, and never reaching, consistency. It is forever adopting new principles from life at one end, and it always retains old ones from history at the other, which have not yet been absorbed or sloughed off. It will become entirely consistent only when it ceases to grow."

JUDGE O. W. HOLMES,

The Common Law, page 36.
