Excerpt from Wood's Browne on the Law of Carriers of Goods and Passengers by Land and Water
No excuse is necessary for the reproduction of this admirable treatise in this country. It is indispensable to American lawyers, to enable them to determine the applicability of the decisions of the English courts to similar questions arising in our courts. The law relating to carriers is so largely regulated by statute in England, that, without a work pointing out the instances in which those statutes have varied the common-law rules relating thereto, it is impossible to determine whether the decisions of the English courts upon a given question relating to the rights and liabilities of carriers are entitled to any weight upon the determination of similar questions here. Mr. Browne has pointed out the instances in which these statutes have overridden or changed the common-law rules very clearly, and thus has performed a most excellent service for our lawyers and courts; and it is believed that, while the work may not supplant the various excellent American treatises upon this subject, yet it will be found to be a convenient and necessary adjunct thereto.
