Principles of the English Law of Contract: And of Agency in Its Relation to Contract (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Principles of the English Law of Contract

I have little to say in offering the eleventh edition of this book to the public. The preface to the sixth edition, which I leave as it was written in 1891, will explain, to any one who may be interested in the matter, the origin and purpose of the book. I have endeavored in the eleventh edition to bring the book up to date, to introduce new authorities with the least possible enlargement of the text, to simplify passages that seemed obscure, and to preserve the character of an ele mentary treatise. I have again to thank my friend Mr. Graham-harrison, of All Souls College and of Lincoln's Inn, for valuable help in the suggestion of improvements, in advice on points of difficulty, in correction, and in revision.
