Book Description
Excerpt from A Selection of Cases on the English Law of Contract Another advantage to be derived from this study is, that in the Reports the student has examples of precise and accurate statement of fact and clear definition of the issue involved. The decisions of the Judges are not mere dry statements of rules and principles. The student will there meet with a well-balanced weighing of facts, a just criticism of arguments, a luminous exposition of law, and occasionally farsighted and lofty considerations of expediency, joining for the moment the domain of the legislator with the province of the judge. And there is this further advantage, last but not least in the eyes of the practical lawyer, that through the study of these Reports a man becomes familiar with the tone of thought, the attitude of mind, which prevail in our Courts, he gets a touch of the genius of English law, the Author would venture to add - of the mind of the English race. In insisting on teaching by cases, it is not to be understood that any doubt is suggested as to the value of disquisitions in lectures; lectures are indispensable for the proper teaching of law. The Author's wish is to see them supplemented. The cases here brought together have been selected chiefly with reference to the masterly works of Sir Frederick Pollock and Sir William Anson which together present a result valuable at once to the jurist, the practitioner and the academic student.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Selection of Cases on the Law of Contracts When the first edition was published there was no recent com prehensive treatise on the laws of contracts, and for that reason the collection of decisions in the notes to the cases was somewhat elaborate. To bring these annotations down to the present time with similar fullness would have undesirably expanded the size of the book and in view of the existence of several newly published exhaustive treatises on the subject has seemed unnecessary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selected Cases on the Law of Contracts The arrangement of topics follows that of Sir William Anson in his Principles of the English Law of Contracts, whose general plan has served as a model for some other treatises on the subject. This case book, however, covers some topics not dealt with in his book; and some that are treated there are not included here. Two chap ters appearing in the former editions of this book, namely, Capacity of Parties, and Impairing the Obligation of Contract, are omitted in this edition, as these are topics which are commonly discussed in the courses on Persons and Constitutional Law in the usual law school curriculum. In many of the cases the statement of facts has, for the sake of brev ity, been either re-written or abridged, without calling special attention to the matter. For the same reason, the practice, now common, of omitting unnecessary portions of the Opinions, has been followed; but such omissions are always indicated. In this as in the preceding editions, the principal text consists of American cases, although English cases are represented in the notes and in the discussions in the Opinions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selected Cases on the Law of Contracts: With Annotations To present any subject of the law by means of cases, is only to follow out the idea of Lord Coke, that the reporting of particular cases is the most perspicuous course of teaching the right rule and reason of law; but in studying the law by such cases, the caution of Lord Mansfield is to be observed, that the law does not consist of particular cases, but of general principles, which are illustrated and explained by those cases. This book has been prepared for the purpose of presenting the general principles of the Law of Contracts, by the study of selected cases, which illustrate and explain different parts of that subject. The cases selected, with one exception, have been taken from the decisions of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. This course has its disadvantage, no doubt, in that perhaps a greater variety of fact and discussion might have been obtained by taking other American or English cases, but it has its advantage, in that it gives a connected view of the whole subject in one jurisdiction. It is not intended to give the law of one jurisdiction exclusively, for. It will be found that the principles of the Law of Contract are the same in all the States which have adopted the common law, and even the statutory changes are similar in many respects. While the student is learning the general law of the subject, he is, at the same time, becoming thoroughly familiar with the decisions of his own State, or of a court which has always met with the highest consideration. This court has been in existence for a cent ury, and almost every important question in the Law of Contracts has come before it in some form for discussion. Its judges have been men-of approved learning and ability. Its views have al ways been conservative; and perhaps in no other State have the principles of the common law been more closely observed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selection of Cases Illustrative of the Law of Contract: Based on the Collection of G. B. Finch The late Mr G. B. Finch, after long experience at the bar, in London, accepted in Cambridge the duties of an academical teacher of law. Wishing to adopt the methods of the Harvard Law School, which he had visited, he prepared and published a collection of judicial decisions on the law of Contract. After his death, a second' edition of this work, enhanced in value by the care and learning of Mr R. T. Wright and Professor W. W. Buckland, was issued in 1896. It has long been out of print, and even second-hand copies of it can seldom be obtained. The desirability of its reproduction has thus been obvious. But, under present commercial conditions, a volume of dimensions so large could not be published except at a prohibitive cost. Under these circumstances, the Cambridge University Press, as proprietors of the copyright, decided that the book should again be made accessible; but in a form so abridged that its price should not place it beyond the reach of the ordinary student. The Syndics, with the kind and ready consent of Mr Wright and Professor Buckland, entrusted to me the preparation of the proposed work. I have omitted only those very few decisions that seem to have lost their authority or their interest. By the generous permission of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting, I have been 'enabled to insert various cases that have been decided since the edition of 1896 was published. Most of the cases contained in that edition I have abridged greatly; but without much detriment, I hope, to their educational value. To some of the judgments I have added brief annotations; to explain or to develop the doctrines they establish. And, as questions of the Interpretation of Contracts arise so frequently in legal practice, I have introduced a chapter upon that subject. I have also added a few decisions upon the Assignment of Contracts. The net result is to give the student, in a volume of moderate dimensions, the pith of the facts and law of some two hundred and forty reported cases.
