Excerpt from The Volcano Diggings: A Tale of California Law The object of this tale has been to illustrate the blind and foolish ignorance of those who are for ever carping at the systematic workings of our judicial and legal institutions; and also to show the danger as well as the absurdity of despising forms, and trusting to extempore suggestions for a true demonstration of legal principles.

The early lynch-law trials in California furnish sa vory food for reflection upon this topic; and, as the author has spent much time in that country, and has so travelled through it as to be well acquainted with its different phases of life, he has concluded that he could not choose a more expedient region for the development of his plot.
