Year Book of Richard II

The Publication of a year book in this country is an event for our legal scholarship. The trustees of the Ames Foundation in a spirit that is Worthy of the great legal scholar in whose honor the foundation was instituted, have made the publication possible, but it is to be inferred from the Introduction by the Editor that the book was not prepared at their instance. He tells us that he has had, for correcting various inaccuracies, the assistance of certain members of the Harvard law faculty, but it is not to be supposed that they have given a critical reading to this volume, for it would be impossible that certain matters could have escaped their scrutiny.
