THE object of this Book is to lay before the reader in a concise form the Law relative to all matters concerning the use of Locomotives, Carriages, and other Vehicles upon Highways.

The recent legislation in regard to Motor Cars has drawn particular attention to this class of carriage, but the bulk of the Law applicable to them is equally applicable to vehicles of other classes, and it is hoped that this Book may be found to be a sufficient statement of the Law affecting the use of all vehicles.

The First Chapter is devoted to the Locomotives on Highways Act, 1896, the latest addition to the number of already existing Statutes dealing with locomotives. Together with the sections of the Act will be found the Regulations of the Secretary of State, and of the Local Government Board, which, by Section 7 of the Act, have statutory force.

In the Second Chapter the Statutes relating to vehicles generally are digested, including the Regulations of the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police.

The later Chapters of the Book deal with the
principles of the Law of Negligence, Nuisance,
Excessive Traffic, and of Carriers so far as they
affect travellers or persons using the highways.
References to the principal decided cases are in-
serted in order that the legal practitioner may find
in one volume all the Law, required in connection
with the subject of the Book, in a concise form.

The Appendix contains all the important Statutes

applicable to the use of vehicles of every class upon

the highways. To show the number of Statutes on

this subject, it may be noted that it has been neces-

sary to refer to nearly sixty Statutes. The bringing

together of the principal Statutes into the Appendix

of one volume will, it is hoped, be of convenience

to practitioners, and to other persons interested in

this subject.
