Présentation de l'éditeur :
The original Treatise of Judge Story on Bailments was so thorough and exhaustive, and the questions discussed in the first few chapters have so seldom been the subject of recent decisions, that they require but comparatively little alteration or revision. But the Law of Pledges. I nnkeepers, and Carriers, has so much expanded in modern times as to furnish abundant material for independent treatises, of which Judge Eedfield sexcellent book is the latest. The chapters on those subjects have, therefore, received special attention in the preparation of this Edition. Some new sections have been added, and over six hundred recent cases cited, afiirining or qualifying the original text. The table of sections, originally printed only in the introductory pages, has been condensed, and inserted also at the head of the respective chapters. The Index has also been revised and enlarged. The new matter, both in text and notes, except mere additional cases, is generally inclosed in brackets, thus , in order to distinguish it from the original work. EDMUND H. BENNETT. Boston, December 1, 1870.
