Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Fire Insurance The author has endeavored in the following work to systematize the principles deducible from the nu'merous decisions of our courts upon the complex subject of fire insurance, and thus exhibit, in convenient form, the present state of that branch of the law. In going over such an extensive field of inquiry, he cannot flatter himself that he has been so fortunate as entirely to avoid error and mistake. And he would be grateful to his professional brethren, if, in following his footsteps, they would point out to him any defects they may chance to discover in the way, so that he may be able, in any future edition, to correct them.
