Synopsis

The book ""A Digest of Decisions: Including Dicta, Under the Federal Safety Appliance and Hours of Service Acts"" was written by Otis Beall Kent and published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive collection of legal decisions and opinions related to the Federal Safety Appliance and Hours of Service Acts. The Federal Safety Appliance Act was passed in 1893 and required all railroad cars to be equipped with certain safety features, while the Hours of Service Act was passed in 1907 and regulated the number of hours railroad employees could work in a day. The book includes a detailed summary of each case and the legal reasoning behind the decisions made by the courts. The author has included dicta, or non-binding opinions, in addition to the actual decisions to provide a more complete understanding of the legal landscape at the time. The book is organized by topic, making it easy to find information on specific issues related to these acts. Overall, ""A Digest of Decisions"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and legal interpretation of the Federal Safety Appliance and Hours of Service Acts, as well as the broader field of railroad law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
