Principles of the Law of Personal Property, Chattels and Choses e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This work is written primarily for American law stu dents; but, owing to the magnitude of the subject, general principles only can be given. While real property may be treated as one subject in one volume, personal property has assumed so many different forms in this commercial age, as not to be susceptible of detailed treatment in one volume; and as students works have been published dealing with particular branches of personal property, such as Bailments, Negotiable Instruments, Partnership, Corporations, and many other subjects, this work dis misses them with brief mention, the space being devoted to other branches which though important do not justify separate treatises. The leading principles of Sales of Goods are set forth concisely yet so completely that this volume could be used as a text-book for that branch alone; but in colleges where a separate text-book on that subject is used, that part of this work can be omitted entirely or used in the nature of a review, and enough other subjects will remain to occupy the attention of students to advantage. The same can be said of some of the other subjects.
