"Second Edition, Edited by J.C. Shairp, Advocate". "When Mr. Stewart invited me to edit a second edition of his book, it was arranged that the treatise should simply be revised and brought up to date, and that my task should in no sense be to produce a new book. To this purpose I have adhered; and, recognising as the work went on the care with which Mr. Stewart had originally compiled the volume, I have not attempted to alter what I was unable to improve". (J.C. Shairp in his preface to the second edition).
