Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Partnership In laying the following pages before the profession the author is mindful that a distinguished predecessor of his in this line of inquiry has disparaged in advance the efforts of any one who may attempt to reduce the law of partnership to a system of rules. It i with very great diffidence, therefore, that the present work on partnership law is submitted, for its most conspicuous feature is an attempt to work out the analysis of the subject into a complete and consecutive series of general propositions. No one can doubt the value of such an analysis, but the reader must judge for himself what measure of success has crowned the author's efforts. The aspect of the partnership relation has undergone many changes during the century now closing. These changes have been traced and explained in the text, while, in the notes, the reader has been referred to the leading cases and the best text writers, so that he may, by following the changing methods of interpretation as they appear in the authorities, learn not only what the law of partnership now is, but how it came to have its present status. There has been no attempt to make the citation of cases exhaustive upon well-established propositions, but it is by no means meager, nearly five thousand cases being referred to in different parts of the work. Great pains has been taken in the citation of these cases to have them each exactly support the proposition to which it is cited. Long lists of cases have been avoided, and, as far as possible in a one-volume work on so extensive a subject, the cases have been classified in the notes and the specific points decided have been stated. It is believed that all the leading American and English cases are included. In citing statutes throughout the book, the last general revision in the several states has in each case been consulted.
