A Summary of the Law of Torts, or Wrongs Independent of Contract (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from A Summary of the Law of Torts, or Wrongs Independent of Contract

I have been induced to write this Work by the fact, that there is no English Treatise on the Law of Torts, except that of Mr. Addison, which, how ever excellent as a digest and book of reference, is little fitted for the Student who desires to learn principles before entering into particulars.

Excerpt from A Summary of the Law of Torts, or Wrongs Independent of Contract

I have been induced to write this Work by the fact, that there is no English Treatise on the Law of Torts, except that of Mr. Addison, which, however excellent as a digest and book of reference, is little fitted for the Student who desires to learn principles before entering into particulars.

To meet the want thus indicated, I have, in the compilation of this Work, avoided matters of detail, and have confined myself chiefly to broad principles. These I have put before the reader in the form of rules, taken in many instances from the dicta of the Judges.

These rules I have illustrated by cases falling under them, and where the rules admit of exceptions they have been succinctly stated.

Where there has appeared to be any ambiguity or obscurity in the terms of a rule, I have endeavoured to explain and elucidate it by means of sub-rules.

The method which I have adopted is, I need scarcely say, not original.
