Commentaries on the Law of Persons and Personal Property: Being an Introduction to the Study of Contracts - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
This treatise, as stated by the author, was intended as an introduction to the law of contracts. In the beginning he doubtless had in mind the preparation of a more extended work, which would have embraced the whole subject of contract law. This plan, however, was not carried out. In its stead the work was confined in its scope to those topics included in the authors lectures at Columbia Law School immediately preceding the course on contracts. These lectures form the basis of the division of subjects both as to the law of persons in the first book and the law of personal property in the second. In the law of persons the grand division of absolute and relative rights is observed throughout. The former class is divided into the rights of personal security and personal liberty, while under the latter and more numerous class of relative rights are considered those which spring from the relations of husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, and master and servant. Separate chapters are devoted to citizens and aliens, infancy, the doctrine of status as affecting capacity, and finally to corporations, which closes the first book.
