Excerpt from Commentaries on the Criminal Law, Vol. 1 This sixth edition does not differ from the fifth in its general arrangement, in the order and numbering of the sections, or materially in legal doctrine. Nor does it omit the substance of any thing important in the fifth. But, in other respects, it is essentially new. Nearly all of it is either rewritten or otherwise compressed into briefer forms of expression, every case has been compared anew with the original report to see that it is correctly cited, the notes are augmented more than a third in the number of cases cited, the text is enlarged by what those added cases represent, it is by various devices made clearer, each topic is more easily found, and the entire work is brought down to the time of publication. Let me explain. To a mass of material, embracing the substance of several thousand adjudged cases, which lay by me neither used nor definitively rejected after preparing the last editions of my books on the criminal law, I added the fruits of fresh searchings through the reports for cases which I might have overlooked or too hastily rejected, together with the adjudged law subsequently made public. With this material before me, I went through the entire work, compressing, changing, and adding, as already stated. Not a section, unless a quoted one, stands, if I mistake not, in this edition exactly as it did in the last.
