Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on the Law of Bailments The object of this work is to present the Law of Bailments concisely, as drawn from and illustrated by the decisions of courts governed by the common law; and so arranged, it is hoped, as to prove a serviceable and acceptable book. Though the method chosen, of collating the adjudications under appropriate heads, has occasionally resulted in a restatement of the same principles under a modified form, it has this advantage, of presenting the subject in a natural order. The general arrangement is that usually adopted by approved writers on this branch of the law; while in respect to subordinate divisions, it has been deemed convenient to make them with reference to subjects, so as to present the law upon each in a condensed and useful form. In this manner the rights, duties and remedies of each of the parties to the contract of bailment are considered under specific heads, with a view to their application to the matter in hand. The rule, fixing the bailee's responsibility for care and diligence in each species of bailment, is treated by itself, and also in connection with the particular duty brought in question. In this way the adjudged principles, applicable to a given subject, are brought together in a brief space, and arranged so as to be readily examined.
