""A Selection of Legal Maxims: Classified and Illustrated"" is a book written by Herbert Broom in 1854. The book is a comprehensive collection of legal maxims, which are short statements or phrases that express a general principle or rule of law. The maxims are organized into categories based on their subject matter, such as contracts, property, and torts. Each maxim is accompanied by an explanation of its meaning and an illustration of how it applies in practice. The book is intended for use by law students and practitioners, as well as anyone with an interest in legal principles and concepts. It is a valuable resource for understanding the fundamental principles of law and how they are applied in different contexts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
