It occurred to me that in some respects as a guide and in others as the means of pointing out difficulties which, in framing an Indian Code, it would be well to avoid, the completion of a work which I had for some time had in hand — a Digest of the English Law of Easements, a branch of law which is included in the somewhat more comprehensive law of Servitudes — might prove useful as a preliminary step towards the preparation of a Chapter of the Indian Code on the subject. I have omitted what are called customary Easements, as they are either not Easements properly so called, or, if Easements, are so by prescription, and not by custom, and are properly classed as Easements by Prescription.
