Book Description

Excerpt from The Essentials of Business Law This book has not been written for lawyers, nor for professional students of the law, but for boys and girls in our secondary schools. Its purpose is to show how the rules of law, governing ordinary business transactions, have been developed, and to tell what they are. Technical law terms have been discarded as far as possible. When they have been used, care has been taken to explain and illustrate their meaning, so as to render them easily intelligible to every attentive student. The author believes that the average high-school boy or girl can acquire an accurate knowledge of the essential principles of business law if these are set forth in clear, lucid, popular language. He has endeavored so to present them in the following pages. He has no idea that a mastery of this book will fit the student for a bar examination, or will enable him to be his own lawyer. He has the conviction, however, that it will give the student a fair acquaintance with those legal principles and ideas which are involved in ordinary business affairs, and that it will help him to know when he ought to consult a lawyer, in order to avoid business pitfalls.
