attempt is made in these volumes to trace the growth of this jurisdiction over personal rights and interests, the powers of local authorities, and those
of the trading corporations which have had so sudden a rise and so vast a development, mainly during the Victorian era. All these rights and powers,
intimately affecting the social life of the British people, are the creation of private and local statutes.”)
