Description

“Judge Alexander R. Tiffany, its author, put out the first edition of this work in 1849. In the years 1851, 1858 and 1866, he put out the second, third and fourth editions, respectively. The fifth edition was published in 1873 with Judge Andrew Howell as its editor and he edited the succeeding editions to the ninth inclusive ….

“The editorship of the present edition has been undertaken at the request of the family of Judge Tiffany, and while the editor is persuaded that better can be done, yet it is hoped that the present edition may share the favor so long shown to this work by the bench and bar of Michigan…

“The citations of cases have been brought down to the 100th Northwestern Reporter and to the 132nd Michigan Reports. The Reporter citations are added for all cases since the beginning of the Reporter system.

“Citations to statutes are to the Compiled Laws of 1897 and to the Session Laws of 1899, 1901 and 1903…”
