The Law of Contracts, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Law of Contracts, Vol. 2 The formal contract is an obligation which owes its validity not to consideration, nor in some cases, as in contracts of record, to the agreement of the parties, but solely to the form. Of the transaction. There is an inclination to explain the contract of record on the theory that the law implies an agreement and presumes a consideration.1 Such an explanation is of course a gross anachronism. The formal contract at Common Law antedated the executory simple contract, and was enforceable by reason of its form long before consideration was thought of as having any place in the law of contract.2 At Common Law primary rights were classed with reference to the form of actions by which they were enforced. Accordingly we find that as the action of debt would lie on a record and the action of covenant on a sealed contract, both were classed as contractsf' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Addison on Contracts, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Addison on Contracts, Vol. 1: Being a Treatise on the Law of Contracts The excellence of the work of Mr. Addison as a legal writer is too well established to need one word of commendation from me. His treatise upon the Law of Torts is standard authority in all of our courts, and is more often cited than any other book upon the subject. This work was prepared by him with the same care as that bestowed upon Torts, and it has always been regarded by myself as the most thorough, exhaustive, and practical work upon the subject known to the profession. I have used it almost entirely dur ing my practice, and have always found it accurate, reliable, and practical. There is but little difference in the law relating to contracts as administered in the courts of England and this country, and this work will be found as useful to American as to English lawyers.
