Overview

Excerpt from Leading Cases on the Law of Torts Determined by the Courts of America and England: With Notes The work now offered to the profession is the result of an attempt to furnish for ready service a collection of recognized authorities on the existing law of Torts, with a consideration of the rise and growth of the law as thus represented, followed by a statement in greater detail of its present aspect. The author has confined himself to a consideration of the typical branches of the subject, omitting bailments, marine torts, Statutory torts, and the torts of persons under legal disability. To introduce these with proper fulness would have required such a curtailing of the main branches of the subject as to destroy in a great measure the practical usefulness of the book. They were therefore omitted and reserved for future consideration, should it ever become desirable to add another volume to the work. It may be observed, however, that the topics mentioned are often incidentally presented, and their leading doctrines touched upon. Even with these omissions, it was not possible to consider in detail all of the law relating to the main branches of the subject. Slander, Trespasses upon Property, and Negligence have each been treated in text-books as large as the present volume. As to these subjects, and as to one or two others, the author was governed by the same considerations as in deciding upon the omissions above mentioned. It was thought best to present the central and prominent features of these topics in full detail, leav ing the rest for incidental mention and illustration.
