A Text Book of Commercial Law, as Existing in California (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A d104 Book of Commercial Law, as Existing in California In law, more than in any other science, originality is not to be attained. Every principle in this book has been stated before, and perhaps stated better than it is here. The standard text-writers have been liberally con sultedfi Kent's Commentaries, Smith's Mercantile Law, Parson on Con tracts, and the California Codes, have been most freely referred to. The arrangement, the presentation of each subject, and the statement of principles are, however, new, and whatever of merit there may be in these is all that can be claimed for this book.

Commercial Law


Book Description

Excerpt from Commercial Law: An Elementary Text-Book for Commercial Classes The object of this little book is to provide an elementary text-book on Commercial Law for schools and colleges. Lectures on Commercial Law are now given every winter in many of our large towns. These lectures attract bankers, accountants, and young business men. The want of a text-book has long been felt, as the existing works are too advanced for practical use. In writing this work I have aimed at brevity and simplicity of statement. As a rule cases are not quoted, but many of the illustrations embodied in the text are taken from decided cases. At the end of each chapter or part, reference is made to the leading text-books, to which the reader is referred for further information. As the book is written mainly for those who are unfamiliar with legal terms, I have added a glossary of some terms used in the text that seemed on reading the proofs to require explanation. I have to express my grateful thanks to Dr. James Gow, the editor of the series, Mr. William Baker of Lincoln's Inn, and Mr. J.

Commercial Law (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Commercial Law The author of this work has aimed to select from the exten sive field of the law those fundamental principles, a knowledge of which the business man will most frequently find of value to him, and which the teacher of Commercial Law will regard most useful to his classes. It is not the purpose of this volume to make lawyers of its readers, but to teach them to discern the ways that lead from litigation, and to enable them to conduct their business dealings with an intelligent idea of their legal rights and limitations. Technical terms have been avoided as far as possible, and when it has been thought advisable to use them they have been fully defined either in the text or in the glossary. The latter contains a most complete list of the legal terms ordinarily em ployed, with concise yet sufficient definition. The subjects discussed have been arranged in the order in which it is deemed advisable for the teacher to present them. It is believed that all of the subjects with which the business man should become familiar have been included in the present volume, and are explained with sufficient detail to give the reader a correct knowledge of the law concerning them. In many instances different conclusions that have been arrived at by the courts in the several states have been pointed out in detail, that the student may understand the conflicts in the laws of the different jurisdictions.
