Abstract
The blurb on the cover twice calls this book a "lusty, gusty attack on The Law." No writer can be held responsible for the blurbs with which his book is commended to the public by those whose business it is to sell it. But many who read it--there will undoubtedly be many--will do so in the hope that it is precisely what the cover describes, since lusty, gusty attacks on anything make juicy reading and law and lawyers have been fair game almost ever since either word became a term of common speech. Professor Rodell's title is taken from the Gospels and many of his chapters are introduced by apt quotations which ridicule or abuse The Law. I hope that in the third and subsequent editions he will add the passage from Gulliver which is the bitterest and most devastating of all attacks on lawyers; and also perhaps, some sentences from Mr. A. P. Herbert, who has recently and wittily uncovered our nakedness.
