DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Law of Marine Insurance Some knowledge of the law of Marine Insurance is almost indispensable to a shipowner or merchant, and it is important that that knowledge should be correct so far as it goes. It is true that most shipowners and many merchants sooner or later acquire some such knowledge without the trouble of reading books, from their own experience; but this method of acquiring it is apt to be costly, as the most valuable part of the experience is derived from the consequences of their own mistakes. Hence there has always been a demand for little books like the present, and there has generally been a supply. Stevens on Average, Baily on General Average and the Perils of the Seas, and Hopkins's Handbook of Average and Manual of Marine Insurance, are examples of the kind. All these, like the present volume, were written by average-adjusters, - a class of persons whose peculiar experience gives them great opportunities of at least knowing what is wanted. All these books, however, like law-books on a larger scale, must either be constantly kept up to the level of the latest decisions, or they run the risk of ceasing to be safe guides to the mercantile reader, on account of the rapid growth of law and consequent change of practice (a). The time seems to have come for something new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Marine Insurance and General Average, Vol. 1 of 2 O? My treatise on Maritime Law, the first volume contained the Law of Shipping. The second volume con tained the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law of Admiralty. In preparing a new edition of this work, I found that the recent cases on the subject of Marine Insurance, and especially those on General Average in connection with Insurance, in England and in this co un try, from their number, their interest, and their effect upon those important branches of Commercial Law, made it impossible to confine the work within its former limits. I determined, therefore, after much consultation with persons in different parts of our country whose Opinions on such a question would be most valuable, to prepare a new work on the Law of Marine Insurance, founding it upon my former work, but so increasing its size as to enable me to make it as complete as I could. The result is the book now offered the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Treatise on Maritime Law, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Law of Shipping, the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law and Practice of Admiralty Before I came to Cambridge, and while still engaged in the business of my profession, I had become convinced that the books in the different departments of maritime law, excellent as some of them were, were still Open to the objection, that they treated severally and disconnect edly, topics which in themselves were closely connected and needed the mutual illustration they could give each other. It seemed to me that the Law of Shipping and the Law of Marine Insurance, for example, could not be learned fully and accurately excepting in their connec tion. How these subjects intermingle in some of their subdivisions, is obvious. Thus, no work on Shipping would leave the subject of General Average untouched; and certainly no work on Insurance could do so. But does this topic belong more properly to Shipping or to Insurance? It belongs to both; and equally to both; and connects the two together. And to go beyond this, it may be said that there is no topic of either of these systems of law, which can be treated of with any ful ness, without a frequent reference, more or less direct, to the same topic as it stands in the other of those sys tems.
