A Treatise on the Law of Partnership, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Partnership, Vol. 1 of 2<br><br>The conviction with which this work was undertaken, that the less it was edited the better, has been confirmed as the labor upon it progressed.<br><br>The original plan of simply collecting and citing the American cases has been changed by the alteration of the work by the Author in the fifth edition, reducing it from two volumes to one by the omission of the law pertaining to Companies and Corporations under English legislation. This change, occurring just before this edition was announced to appear, has rendered necessary a re-examination of the cases to meet the altered method of treatment.<br><br>No attempt is made to write a book upon the Law of Partnership already so thoroughly covered by Story and by Bates, but the plan is to give the full text of Lord Justice Lindley's last edition, with such additions of American authorities as will make it serviceable to the American student and practitioner in subordination to the masterly plan and treatment of the Author.<br><br>Nor is any attempt made to present the conclusions of the forty-five separate jurisdictions into which the American courts are divided, in the methodical manner of the Author, who deals only with a single jurisdiction, and speaks with the authority of a jurist and the learning of a special student.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
