Not illustrated. 1831 edition. Excerpt: ...the matter (as they may be), it is the duty of the auditors to decide upon the whole examination and proofs, as the weight of the testimony may require.3 A confession ofjudgment to account, in an action on book account, does not conclude the defendant as to any article charged, or prevent him from questioning before the auditor, the propriety of a recovery therefor, in the form of action established in Vermont.4 A transfer and delivery of the articles charged, are, in Vermont, essential to the validity of the charges, without which no action of book account can be sustained upon them.5 And the right to make the charge on book must exist at the time of delivering the article, or performing the service, and cannot, depend upon the happening of subsequent events.6 Where there is a contract of sale, which is not executed by actual delivery, the action of book account cannot be sustained.7 Where the action is instituted for articles delivered which have latent defects, the-value of the articles is the legal rule of damages, and not the customary jzriee of the articles, unless controlled by a special agreement of the parties.8 As to the effect in Vermont of erasures and alterations in an original book account, --they do not destroy its character as an original: such book being competent evidence before auditors, and the erasures, Sac. go to its credit only.9 As to what charges are recoverable in Vermont, under the F Stevens v. Richards, 2 Aiken, 81. 9 Sargeant v. Pettibone, 1 Ibid. 355. statute which gives the action of book account, it has been held, that a charge for /zosmges, made by a person while postmaster, can be recovered.1 Fees for services, as justice of the peace, are also proper subjects of book charge, and are recoverable in the..

In America, we are eager to claim ownership: our homes, our ideas, our organs, even our own celebrity. But beneath our nation’s proprietary longing looms a troublesome question: what does it mean to own something? More simply: what is property? The question is at the heart of many contemporary controversies, including disputes over who owns everything from genetic material to indigenous culture to music and film on the Internet. To decide if and when genes or culture or digits are a kind of property that can be possessed, we must grapple with the nature of property itself. How does it originate? What purposes does it serve? Is it a natural right or one created by law? Accessible and mercifully free of legal jargon, American Property reveals the perpetual challenge of answering these questions, as new forms of property have emerged in response to technological and cultural change, and as ideas about the appropriate scope of government regulation have shifted. This first comprehensive history of property in the United States is a masterly guided tour through a contested human institution that touches all aspects of our lives and desires. Stuart Banner shows that property exists to serve a broad set of purposes, constantly in flux, that render the idea of property itself inconstant. Despite our ideals of ownership, property has always been a means toward other ends. What property signifies and what property is, we come to see, has consistently changed to match the world we want to acquire.

In the years before the Civil War, many Americans saw the sea as a world apart, an often violent and insular culture governed by its own definitions of honor and ruled by its own authorities. The truth, however, is that legal cases that originated at sea had a tendency to come ashore and force the national government to address questions about personal honor, dignity, the rights of labor, and the meaning and privileges of citizenship, often for the first time. By examining how and why merchant seamen and their officers came into contact with the law, Matthew Taylor Raffety exposes the complex relationship between brutal crimes committed at sea and the development of a legal consciousness within both the judiciary and among seafarers in this period. The Republic Afloat tracks how seamen conceived of themselves as individuals and how they defined their place within the United States. Of interest to historians of labor, law, maritime culture, and national identity in the early republic, Raffety’s work reveals much about the ways that merchant seamen sought to articulate the ideals of freedom and citizenship before the courts of the land—and how they helped to shape the laws of the young republic.
