TO HIS OLD FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES OF “THE ECLECTIC,” THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. SEIZED with the gold fever and resolved to judge of the wealth of El Dorado by actual observation, I embarked in one of the first steamers which sailed from New York, after the public announcement of the wonderful and extensive gold discoveries. Thus having obtained much information as well as considerable experience, I have written the following narrative during the leisure of a brief sojourn in the country, since my recent return from California. I have not the vanity to suppose that I can encourage or discourage emigration to that region, and much less the wish to do either. As I crossed the Isthmus both during the dry and the rainy season, and also visited the gold region, it was my design to furnish at the close of this work a separate chapter of details for the use of the Sights in the gold region, and scenes by the way.

We only looked at it as a matter of fact.1 John Henry Newman (1801-1890) is one of the best known converts to Roman Catholicism in modern times.2 Born in Lon- don and educated in Oxford, he became a leader of the Oxford Movement during the 1830s.

MINNESOTA LAW REVIEW Journal of the State Bar Association VOLUME XVIII M1ARCH, 1934 No. 4 INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS AND THE LAW IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, By W. S. HOLDSWORTH* F ROM the middle of the fourteenth century onwards there is authority for the principle that all persons ought to be allowed to carry on their trades freely, subject only to any restrictions or regulations which might be imposed by the common law or by statute law. The law, it was said, gave to every man the right to carry on his trade as he pleased, free from arbitrary restric- tions not recognised by law, whether those restrictions were im- posed by the illegal actions of officials of the local or central gov- ernment, or by the lawless acts of rivals in trade. This general principle of the common law was quite consistent with the recog- nition of the need for much legal regulation of many aspects of trade in the interests of the state.
