Présentation de l'éditeur
It has been attempted to cite the American decisions bearing upon the law of auctions, and upon the topics discussed in this work in connection therewith, with sufficient illustrations from the general law of sales of personal property and of vendors and purchasers of real estate to show fully the general rules applicable to this particular mode of sale, in the different cases in which it is adopted, but without trenching upon those broad subjects any further than has seemed to be necessary for that purpose. Besides these referenc, which have enlarged the original table of cases to more than threefold, I have given in an Appendix the statutes of the different states and territories regulating the licenses of auctioneers and the conduct of sales by auction, so far as these have been accessible to me. The space for these additions, without materially increasing the thickness of the book, has been gained by somewhat enlarging the size of the page, adopting a closer mode of printing, and omitting many English statutes which seemed rather to have been inserted for the purpose of giving general information to the English reader than because they had any particular bearing upon the law of auctions. I have also omitted such tables and forms as, though doubtless valuable in England, did not seem to me adapted to serve any useful purpose in this country. My additions have been distinguished from the original work by being enclosed in brackets. H. N. S. February 28, 1883.
