Synopsis

This book reviews the evolution of New York's legal system and its significant incorporation of Dutch civil law and English common law. The author traces the influence of trade and commerce on the legal structure of New York as well as how Dutch heritage influenced legal practice. It also examines the development of negotiable instruments, including written evidence of debt and promissory notes. These financial instruments became increasingly important as New York City grew into a major hub for trade and commerce. The book is useful in understanding the historical context of New York's legal system and the relationship between law and commerce.
