Book Description

Excerpt from Burgess' Commercial Law: A Text Book for All Classes of Schools and Colleges in Which Courses Are Offered in Commercial Law Those who compose Classes in commercial law are, as a rule, without business experience, in fact, without much of any sort of experience in life. The subject consists almost wholly of a study of business situations and relations that have been unthought Of by the pupil. Given a certain state of facts; the law is a state ment of the rights and obligations of the parties growing out therefrom. It is therefore of itself a generalization. To be com prehended the particulars on which it is founded must be clearly understood, for a knowledge of the particular in this case must precede a knowledge of the general. The subject is therefore not an easy one to teach and the teacher needs every aid he can secure from his textbook. In the preparation Of this book both the teacher and the pupil have been kept constantly in mind; classroom conditions have been ever before the authors. The experienced teacher crimes to know where pupils have difficulty and what they comprehend without great effort. A knowledge of these matters has enabled the authors to give unusual attention to many topics in the text that have in the past given some trouble to teachers.
