N2  - The great value of this volume and the amount of work expended in compiling it may be surmised from the statement made in the preface that "this volume contains practically every (malpractice) case of any importance which has been decided in the courts of last resort in this country and also the leading cases in England."The cases are arranged in chronological order, the first one occurring in 1767, the last one in July, 1908. The decisions are all given in full so that all the points in connection with any case are clearly set forth. As a rule, to which there are few exceptions, physicians know far too little of the obligations placed on them in the care of the sick. The question whether all of these obligations are just or not is not to be discussed here; but that they exist is very forcibly shown by the discussions
