DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Insurance: Fire, Life, Accident, Marine; With a Selection of Leading Illustrative Cases and an Appendix of Statutes and Forms This book was designed primarily for the class-room, and is the result of an effort to combine the advantages of the two more prominent methods in use for teaching law, commonly known as the text-book and case systems, the comparative merits of which have recently aroused wide-spread and thoughtful attention. The appearance of Langdell's Select Cases as a substitute for Parsons on Contracts, at Harvard Law School, in the year 1871, and the subsequent abolition on text-books from their curriculum by the law faculty or that great university, marked a conspicuous departure from pre-existing methods of legal instruction, and gave impetus to an exchange of views among those interested in education which has continued with increased earnestness. By the old method, the student is expected to acquire a knowledge of the elements of the law by memorizing the pages of a general treatise, which, in the estimate and according to the views of its author, contains a compendium of the whole body of law upon the given subject. By the other method, the student is made acquainted with original sources of legal authority; namely, leading decisions and opinions by the courts upon the given subject, together with the precise statement of facts upon which the opinion in each case is based, substantially as recorded in the official reports. These selected cases, edited, arranged, and printed in a book for this purpose, are put into the hands of the class, and are made the subject not only of study and recitation, but also of a free discussion in the class-room under guidance of an instructor, with a view to evolving, illustrating, and emphasizing the important principles established by them, and also other analogous and closely allied principles which may at the same time be conveniently considered.

Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...and, in consequence of the presence of camphene upon the premises, it is aggravated and made more destructive than it otherwise would have been, the loss falls upon the insurers. If a fire is occasioned by the camphene, and the insurers are not able to trace it to that cause, the loss falls upon them. It is only in those cases where the insurers are able to show that camphene was the original cause of the loss, that the risk is assumed by the assured. I see nothing, either in law or in reason, against the making of such a contract; and that is precisely the contract which these parties have made, if we interpret their language according to its natural import. WINNE v. NIAGARA FIRE INS. CO. (91 N. Y. uses.) Forfeiture; are not favored. Appeal from order of General Term of Supreme Court entered upon an order which affirmed a judgment in favor of plaintiffs, entered upon a verdict. For six or seven years previous to July, 1876, the defendant, the Niagara Insurance Company, by William H. F redenburgh, its agent, had insured the Eagle Hotel property belonging to plaintiff, Henry W. Winne, hya policy for $2,000, loss, if any, payable to Benjamin J. Winne, mortgagee, his coplaintiff. About the time of the expiration of the policy, July, 1876, the defendant, the insurance company, mailed Fredenburgh, their agent, a paper which contained opposite Winne's name the word "drop." Fredenburgh, the agent, told plaintiff that he had got a letter from the company that they wouldn't carry as large an amount as $2,000, and showed him the paper or letter, explaining the meaning and contents.
