The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard

Other Publications

Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and will be of prime concern. He is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. Man never has lived to himself alone. Government is not an invention, a necessary evil, to which men submit. On the contrary, from the most primitive beginnings it has been man's natural though imperfect instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence. And universally this government has …

The Rights Of Access Of An Upland Owner To Navigable Waters, Marshall John Rutherford

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The question to be discussed in this dissertation is whether or not the upland owners on navigate waters live, by virtue of the position of their land a right of ocean to the free enjoyment of the water in front of the land there of for purpose of navigation.

The question here involved has been considered by many legislatures and courts as well as by many text writers and as a result of such consideration there is a great variety of opinions. I shall in this dissertation direct my attention to the law as believe it be in California.

That such a trip with you would have been the rarest treat of my life, I perhaps too readily assumed that you would understand. My unresponsive attitude was due to the fact that the trip was absolutely out of my reach because of financial inability. A silly pride instinctively prevented my telling you so at the …
