"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 ... They derive their origin from a course of lectures delivered as the Law Society's lecturer in commercial law."--Pref.
