Book excerpt: Completed manuscript on marine insurance law intended for publication but never published. Hopkins was a Maine lawyer of some prominence. In the work's preface, he recounts its origin and growth over a thirty year period, mentioning the encouragement received from Chief Justice Sewall of Massachusetts to provide a restatement of the law in light of commercial revolutions of the time. Hopkins began collecting cases after reading Justice Marshall's publication on insurance in 1805. He postponed publication in the 1820's due to the appearance of Willard Phillips' A treatise on the law of insurance.
