A necessity then arises from the very magnitude and-complete ness of the library, that persons who have made certain branches of knowledge their special study should perform for you the very useful, if homely, Office of a finger post to the contents of the catalogue of the library.
I wish that it had fallen to someone else's lot to commence these lectures by a subject seemingly more attractive than the subject of legal literature, I say seemingly, because I do not admit that any subject could be Chosen of more real interest. Somebody must make a beginning, and it seemed rather to devolve on the Chair man of the Committee to be first in the breach. I do not know what course succeeding lecturers will take, each will, no doubt, adopt the method most suitable to his subject. It appears to me that the most practical course for me to take will be to suppose each one of you to be saying to me, I want to know something about law. What books in your library shall I read? Before answering that question, let me mention that the books on law in the Reference Library have been selected on a principle, and that principle is that they must not be only and solely technical books. None of you should expect to find in the library books to teach you the special details of your various trades or occupations: how to file a piece Of metal or cut a garment. So on the subject of law there is no book in the library which will tell you in detail how to defend yourself in a County Court action. That is technicaldetail, and no more literature than a directory is literature. The Free Libraries Committee have very properly drawn the line here. Any book which relates to the general principles of law; any book which connects law with history, they have admitted; but have ex cluded those purely technical books which are only the working tools of the lawyer. Allow me also, before I answer the question, a further explanation, and that is that law is like language. Just as there are various languages (as most of us know to our cost) and there is in addition a science of language distinct from any and every particular language, so in the law, we have English law, Roman law and many other systems of law. But there is a science of law totally distinct from any one system. There however the analogy ceases, for you may have a perfect knowledge of several languages without troubling yourself at all with the science of language. So professional lawyers imbibe the necessary know ledge of the principles of law in solution as it were with the details of their daily practice. But if you are beginning the study with out the advantage of daily practice, you must begin with some clear and definite ideas of what law is itself, independent of whether it is Roman law or English law.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
