Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Law of the Church of England, Vol. 1 of 2 The last edition of Dr. Burn's Ecclesiastical Law was edited by me in 1842. Since that period many and important alterations have been made in that law. The present Treatise incorporates considerable portions of Dr. Burn's Work, but it is framed upon a totally different model, and, while it contains a very large portion of entirely new matter, omits those subjects over which the Ecclesiastical Courts have ceased to exercise jurisdiction. The dictionary form adopted by Dr. Burn, how ever superficially convenient, appears to me fatal to any attempt to produce the law in the form of a system arranged according to the principles of science.
