Treatise on Chattel Mortgages (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Treatise on Chattel Mortgages
He believes that his views are correct on principle. The mass of overruled cases prove that courts are not infallible, and precedents not always true statements of the law. The civil law, common law and statute law relating to chattel mortgages, in connection with the de cided cases, have been examined as far as practicable, and from these sources he has em deavored to treat his subject. That a chattel mortgage is a mere contract of hypothecation a mere security - and that a mortgagee's rights are no greater after condition broken, until by foreclosure he has rendered his security available to the satisfaction of his debt, may be a startling innovation in the jurisprudence of many States, but the wisdom and enlightenment of modern jurists coincide with this view. That the ancient doctrines of absolute forfeiture upon breach of condition are rapidly becoming obsolete no one can doubt who has specially studied the subject. If any strange or new doctrines have been advanced it is for the reason that it is believed the law will be so announced in the future. That there may be grave differences of opinion cannot be doubted, notwithstanding the belief that the true principles of law and equity govern ing chattel mortgages have been correctly stated. That there are errors and omissions cannot be doubted, as it is next to impossible to make a work of this kind absolutely perfect. In pre senting this work to that generous profession, who, by their favorable reception of the author's previous works, have acknowledged the utility of his labors in their behalf, he trusts that the errors will not be regarded as impairing its value, while, if his efforts in' its preparation will materially lessen the arduous labors of an overworked Bench and Bar, and assist them (however slightly) in bringing order out of chaos, he will feel amply rewarded for the onerous labor its preparation has imposed upon him. H. M. Herman.
