A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In teaching the subject of the conflict of laws the author became satisfied that the American rules relating to bills and notes were in such an unsatisfactory condition that, if possible, a remedy should be provided by means of a uniform act. This conviction led him to make a special study of the subject with a view toward making a preliminary survey which might be useful in drawing up a uniform act for the United States. In the course of his studies he investigated the law of bills and notes of foreign countries, the provisions of the Hague Convention relating to bills and notes, of 1912, and the rules of the conflict of laws in foreign countries so far as they relate to bills and notes. The comparative study of the municipal law of bills and notes was undertaken in order that the discussion of the rules of the conflict of laws might be made with a sufficient knowledge of the conflicts that may actually arise from the divergent legislation on the subject. Without that kno Mdedge the operation of the rules of the conflict of laws relative to bills and notes cannot properly be understood. The results of these studies were published in the Illinois Law Review (V olume XI, pp. 137-158, 247-267), under the title of The Hague Convention of 1912, relating to bills of exchange and promissory notes: A comparison with A nglo-A merican Law, and in the Minnesota Law Review (V olume I, pp. 10-33, 117-134, 239-256, 320-338, 401-428), under the title of Rules of the conflict of laws applicable to bills and notes: A study in comparative law.

One new topic has been added, namely, the Time within which recourse must be taken. The scope of the work has been enlarged throughout by including the

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
