The editor has had valuable help from Mr. W. S. Church, of the San Francisco bar, in tracing the sources of codified sections, collation of cases, and other important details of the work. in bringing this work to a close, the editor wishes to express his gratitude to the profession of the state for the many appreciative words of commendation of, and liberal patronage extended to, this Pocket Edition of the California Codes. One of the compensating features of legal authorship (not taken account of in the royalty-roll) is the satisfaction that comes from work thoroughly and intelligently done, of knowing that the completed work is appreciated and valued by the profession,-it adds zest to new undertakings.
