PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION
Numerous statutes have been enacted and very many rulings have been made by the courts upon the subject of liens since the publication of the last edition of this work. In this revision the author has made a diligent effort to set out the substance of such statutes and has cited a very large number of the decisions of the courts made during the last twenty years. He has found it necessary to add many new sections and parts of sections and to add many annotations and authorities supporting the new text.
Old section numbers have been retained to better facilitate the finding of the great number of references to former editions cited so generally by the courts. Where new sections have been added they have been designated by letters following the old section numbers.
