Excerpt from The Modern Law of Carriers: Or the Limitation of the Common-Law Liability of Common Carriers Under the Law Merchant, Statute and Special Contracts
The liability of common carriers at common law has been settled by a series of decisions, and is accurately stated in numerous text-books. But in my professional experience I have found no text-book which fully considered the limitations placed upon such liability by the law merchant, by statutes and by special contract. To supply this deficiency I have prepared the present volume. I have for thirteen years devoted to it such time as I could take from the labors of an engrossing profession, and I trust it will be useful to my brethren of the bar.
The first part of the book is devoted to the rights and obligations of maritime carriers; the second is more general, and applies to carriers both by land and sea.
I have been aided in the collation of cases by several gentlemen of the bar, and especially by Mr. Wyllys Hodges, Mr. Ferdinand Shack and Mr. Seth S. Terry. Mr. Hodges and Mr. Terry have assisted to prepare the index. I am glad to tender to them all my sincere thanks.
