Excerpt from Selections From Leake's Elements of the Law of Contracts and Finch's Cases on Contracts, Vol. 1
The different kinds of contract. - Contracts in the English law are generally divided into three kinds, distinguished by their different modes of formation, - namely, Simple Contracts, Contracts under Seal, and Contracts of Record. It is proposed to treat of them in the above order, commencing with Simple Contracts, because the rules and principles relating to the formation of contracts of that kind are of a less technical and more elementary character than those relating to the other kinds of contract.
Simple contracts may be divided into two classes, according to the sources or causes from which they arise, - namely, simple contracts arising from agreement, and simple contracts arising independently of agreement, the latter of which classes is commonly known as contracts implied in law.
Agreement. - Agreement consists in two persons being of the same mind concerning the matter agreed upon. The state of mind or intention of a person, being impalpable to the senses, can be ascertained only by means of outward expressions, as words and acts. Accordingly, the law judges of the state of mind or intention of a person by outward expressions only, and thus excludes all questions concerning intentions unexpressed.
