This treatise was written during the period in which Story [1779-1845] was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. In his Legal Bibliography (1847), Marvin praised the thoroughness of this treatise, noting that "[Story] has everywhere illustrated the doctrines of common law, by copious extracts from distinguished writers on Roman and Continental law" (672). And in The Formative Era in American Law, Pound includes this title in a list of the most influential and authoritative American treatises written during the nineteenth century (140-141).

But whether it is conferred in the one way, or in the other, it is, unless the contrary manifestly appears to be the intent of the party, always construed to include all the necessary and usual means of executing it with effect.1 Thus, for example, if a general authority is given to collect, receive, and pay all the debts due by, or to, the principal, it will occur to every one, who reflects upon the nature of such a trust, that numberless arrangements may be required fully to accomplish the end proposed; such as settling accounts, adjusting disputed claims, resisting unjust claims, answering or defending suits; and these subordinate powers (or, as they are sometimes called, mediate powers) are, therefore, though 1 Howard .
