A LAWYER’S LIBRARY 
Continued from first page 
own. In those early times the people 
lived far more simply than we do today. 
They did not have any business except 
hunting and fishing and tilling the soil. 
The laws were therefore few and simple. 
Where there is no commerce, there is 
no necessity for the laws to regulate it 
that now exist. As long agoas Caesar’s 
time, the ancestors of the English people, 
and therefore our ancestors, lived in vil- 
lages, and each village selected its ““wise 
men ’’ from within itself, to be leaders 
in war and rulers in time of peace. 
These “‘ wise men’”’ settled ali disputes 
that arose and administered the law. 
They also came together and made such 
just laws as they deemed necessary. The 
wise men ‘‘ealdormen’’ as they were 
then called, became the depositaries of 
the law,—the place where it was depos- 
ited. In some instances they committed 
it to memory, and by them it was hand- 
ed down from generation to generation. 
When commerce arose, and trade begun 
to be carried on between the various 
tribes new questions came up for decis- 
ion, and the laws grew in number and 
breadth to meet them. 
For instance, before there were any 
roads no laws relating to travel were nec- 
essary, and none existed, but as soon as 
trade began to be carried on along the 
roads and rivers rules had to be made to 
avoid trouble. In this gradual manner a 
large system of law grew up, keeping 
step with the advancement in civilization 
made by the people. “Then teachers 
came, and education spread among the 
people. The ‘‘ wise men,’’ we might 
call them judges, learned to write, and 
here and there many of the laws were 
written down. And so it was when 
good King Alfred came to the throne, 
more than a thousand years ago. He 
had some of his ““wise men’’ collect 
the laws together, and write them in one 
book which he called the Doom-Book. 
This was the first real English law book. 
Alfred was a great and wise king, and 
every one ought to know when he began 
to reign. It wasin the year 871. He 
placed at the head of this book the ten 
commandments, and then added the 
sanction of our Saviour given in those 
solemn words, “‘ Think not that I am 
come to destroy the law or the prophets, 
I am come not to destroy but to fulfill.’’ 
He also refers to that other remarkable 
commandment of our Master, “* There- 
fore all things whatsoever ye would that 
men should do unto you do ye even so to 
them,’’ and the good king adds this word 
of hisown, ©‘ From thisone doom a man 
may remember that he judge every one 
righteously; he need heed no other 
doom-book.’’ If you look in the dic- 
tionary at the word ‘‘doom’’ you will find
