Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood's Browne on the Law of Carriers of Goods and Passengers by Land and Water We see a reflected history of the past in the laws which were dictated by the necessities of the time, just as we can trace the tides of the sea which has retreated from some coast, by the breakwater which was at one time necessary to prevent its encroachments. The old feeling, which was natural in lawless times, that real property was a much more eligible possession than prop erty in chattels, has to some extent passed away before the inexorable facts of industrial times; but the respect which is still given to the owners of land is perhaps to be traced, as to its roots, to the feelings of that earlier and less civilized period. Now, however, the law in its relation to personal property, although it may. Have less historical interest, is not less important in the eyes of lawyers than that which has reference to property in land. The movable property of this country is at the present time of infinitely more value than the immovable; and as it is in the hands of a much larger number of proprietors, the interests affected by the laws re lating to personal property are certainly not less important than those which have reference to real property.
