Commentaries on the Law of Bailments: With Illustrations from the Civil and the Poreign Law (Classic Reprint) by Joseph Story (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Commentaries on the Law of Bailments: With Illustrations From the Civil and the Poreign Law The last edition of these Commentaries was published in eighteen hundred and fifty-six. The constantly increasing demand for the work is the best evidence of its estimation by the learned profession. In the preparation of this edition several hundred cases have been added, and some new sections written. The present state of the law requires little addition to be made to the earlier chapters, but the chapter on Innkeepers and Carriers has received special attention, and to it the English Carriers' Act and the Railway and Canal Traffic Act have been added, with tes to the decisions thereon, to the present time. The new matter, except mere names of cases, is generally inclosed in brackets, thus [ ], to distinguish it from the original text.
