Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Law of Suretyship Including Commercial and Non-Commercial Guarantees and Compensated Corporate Suretyship The purpose of this work is to state in a single volume the law of guaranty and suretyship, both generally and in its most important and practical details, but divested of all collateral discussion so far as is consistent with an intelligible presentation of the main subject The subject is an intricate one, for, unlike most other forms of contract, suretyship never involves less than three parties. Furthermore, unlike the general law of contract, the law of the subject is not a mere outgrowth of the common law, but has, in many of its most important phases, developed upon the chancery side of the courts, particularly with respect to the doctrines of exoneration, contribution and subrogation, and in some important aspects it closely touches or directly involves the law merchant. No attempt has been made to entirely exhaust the authorities, nor would any good purpose be subserved thereby. Merely cumulative citation upon uncontroverted points has therefore been avoided, but sufficient reference has been made to show generally the development and important applications of settled principles. At the same time practically all the cases that have been printed as leading in the case books for student's use and in miscellaneous collections have been cited in their appropriate places, and where important conflicts of authority exist, effort has been made to indicate them and to reconcile such differences as seem apparent rather than real. The contracts of incorporated surety companies partake of the nature both of insurance and of suretyship.
