Excerpt from Mandamus and Prohibition

The need has long been felt of some trustworthy exposition of the present state of the law relating to Criminal and Quo Warranto Informations, Mandamus, and Prohibition. Very many years have elapsed since the appearance of a treatise on any of these subjects. Meanwhile the law has undergone profound modification, and the procedure has in many respects been wholly changed.

The present work aims at supplying the need. How far it has succeeded in doing so is left to the candid judgment of the profession.

In extenuation of such shortcomings as may be found in his book, the author would point to the wide field traversed by it, and the great number of authorities which it was necessary to consult.
