Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to the Law of Mechanics' Liens: Upon Real Property of the State of California; Including All Amendments to the Mechanics' Lien Law of California and All Decisions of the Supreme Court, to December, 1901 The design of the author in writing this book has been to collate the statutes, and the decisions of the courts, of California relating to the liens of mechanics and others upon real property, and to make such comments and to give such explanations as seemed to be necessary for a clear and comprehensive understanding of the present law. It is intended to be a book of ready reference for use by practic ing lawyers rather than a labored essay for the entertain ment of the literati of the profession. Keeping these pur poses constantly in view, the inviting fields of speculation have been shunned and the splendid opportunities for learned disquisitions upon constitutional law have been passed unnoticed. The book shows the law as it is, and the legislative department of our government has not been invaded by the author's royal prerogative of decreeing for all time what the law ought to be. The need of such a work is known to every lawyer who has had occasion to draft a building contract or a claim of lien, or who has found it necessary to construe the pro visions of the lien law.
