Law books are like babies: they are the greatest fun to conceive, but very laborious to deliver. The original conception of this one was that it should be a shortened version of Dicey and Morris on The Conflict of Laws, issued for the use of students.

But it soon became a great deal more than that, because I could not rest content with merely making a precis, nor have my ideas stood still since 1967. So this has become not just potted Dicey up to date, but virtually a new book.

I have drawn on my Oxford lectures for the occasional quip (or sally). I have tried to reduce the number and size of the footnotes in Dicey, especially by pruning the citations of Commonwealth authority; but I fear I have not been as successful as I could have wished. Still, one who writes on any branch of English law cannot expect to be taken seriously unless he cites authority for his statements.

A hideous thought assails me on the eve of publication. I am indebted to so many willing helpers that I seem to have run out of potentially favaourable reviwers, thus leaving only the potential hostile ones available!
