Excerpt from Commentaries on the Law of Infancy: Including Guardianship and Custody of Infants, and the Law of Coverture, Embracing Dower Marriage and Divorce, and the Statutory Policy of the Several States in Respect to Husband and Wife
This treatise upon the Law of Infancy and Coverture has been prepared from a. Conviction that there was a necessity for such a work. It is now over fifty years since J udge Reeve issued his valuable treatise upon the doxnestie relations, and in the interim very great changes have occurred in the rules and princi ples by Which these relations are governed. Especially has the reformer been at work With a relentless hand, in that branch of j urisprudence Which pertains to the rights and duties of married Women, and it is but recently that the subject has been system atized and wrought into permanent shape. Several'english works, and one or two American treatises, upon the iaw'of husband and Wife, and marital rights, have been issued Within the last fifty years, and some Within the last ten years; but it is believed that none of them occupy the entire field, or supersede the necessity of a new work.
