Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on the Law of Bills, Notes, and Cheques The first edition of the Cases on the Law of Bills, Notes, and Cheques was prepared more particularly to accompany and illus trate the work on that subject by Melville M. Bigelow, LL. D., and was not suited fully for the use of students in the class-room as a basis of study. The present edition, made necessary by the re vision of_ the text-book, and by the codification of the subject, has been prepared, following the order of the revised text, especially for such use. Accordingly, it has been necessary to enlarge the book greatly by the addition of many cases; and this has been done with the aim to collect a set of illustrative cases which shall present as comprehensive a view of the subject as can be treated in a course in school. The plan of the book is to lead the student, in his study, to look upon the law of the subject from the standpoint of the law merchant; accordingly, cases have been selected, when possible, which put in the foreground the customs of merchants and bankers as the basis of decision. The head-notes to the cases are aimed to enforce the point, and, at the same time, to present a concise and, as far as possible, a continuous statement of princi ples and rules, which are illustrated by the cases. No attempt has been made to prepare a complete annotation of the law of commercial paper, and, in so far as notes have been added or citations given to the Statute Or the authorities, the purpose has been to aid in bringing the student to a right point of view, and at the same time developing a working knowledge of the law as it is. Much stress is laid upon the necessity of right theory as the starting-point of study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
