Excerpt from A Digest of the Law and Practice Relating to Local Government: In England and Wales; Including London
While we recognise that a new work of this kind must have many matters which may call for comment, we believe we are meeting a demand which is not only at the present moment pressing, but which will increase in the future. We are anxious that the book should become appreciated as a reliable work, and we shall therefore be grateful for any suggestion which any reader may care to send to us.
In a book of this description it has not, of course, been found possible to include every item which might appear under the heading Local Government; we have had to use our discretion as to what Should be omitted. Certain other subjects could not be dealt with in any detail, and in these cases we have endeavoured by references to statutes and text-books to indicate where a fuller statement Of the law and practice can be found.
It is hoped that the Digest in its present form will give a useful and reliable handbook on this wide and difficult subject.

Excerpt from A Digest of the Law and Practice Relating to Local Government: In England and Wales; Including London
We have been convinced of the need for a book of this kind for some time past. Local Government in England and Wales has now advanced to a stage when no person can hope to take an intelligent interest in its vast work, or any section of it, without having previously studied the scope of local government, the constitution of the existing local authorities and their principal powers and duties. Officials are now qualifying themselves for higher positions by means of examinations in particular subjects, and members of local authorities spend much time at conferences studying the practical working of particular departments of municipal enterprise. But if the work performed by councillors and officials is to be of permanent benefit to the community, it must be preceded by a study of the general principles of the law and practice of local government. The need for this study is being recognised by the examination scheme of the National Association of Local Government Officers and the provision of courses of lectures at the Universities and Higher Education Schools.
There is at present no book known to us which we are of the opinion is in every way suitable for students, officials and councillors alike, and which explains in outline the meaning of local government, its growth, the constitution of local government authorities and their various powers and duties. Our aim has been to provide such a book.
