Abstract
"The hospitable terms of the Hamlyn Trust easily contain my subject "The British Tradition in Canadian Law." However misleading it might be thought to use the word "British" instead of "English" -one looks in vain for any strictly Scottish influence on Canadian law - I have felt justified in using the broader term, notwithstanding the fact that it is English law and English legal institutions with which I am concerned in these lectures..." - Preface
