Excerpt from Select American Cases on the Law of Self-Defense Some attempt has been made to reduce the cases to a consistent arrangement, but this has been only par tially successful. The difficulty of doing so will be obvious, when it is considered that many of' the cases treat upon several different branches of the law of self-defence, and hence that in placing such a case under one head it is necessarily omitted under another. The inconvenience resulting from this difficulty has been overcome by a system of cross references in the head-notes of the principal cases, so that wherever the searcher finds a point of doctrine stated, he is referred to every other case in the book where the same point is under discussion.
