Commercial Precedents Selected From the Column of Replies and Decisions of the New York Journal of Commerce: An Essential Work of Reference for Every Business Man (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Commercial Precedents Selected From the Column of Replies and Decisions of the New York Journal of Commerce: An Essential Work of Reference for Every Business Man Journal of Commerce, are taken for a number of years sufficient to embrace the many heads or subject-matter as appear in the table of contents. They contain the usage, principles, and authorities, and are free from technical language save where technical terms are absolutely necessary, and so as to be understood by every one. This book will by no means rank among commercial law books, for it does not con. Tain the principle or the theoretical basis of such a work, and it is far from its province. It is the actual, applied and every-day usage oi commerce which makes this an essential work of reference for every man in business, and applicable to all the states throughout the union, for it is the common law, and wheresoever the statutes of a particular state govern the question, the name of the state is given in the body of the book, as well as in the index. Where the matter should appear under more than one head in the index, it is cross-indexed, so as to insure its being readily found as well as to avoid repetition in the body of the book. The arrangement of the subject-matter, including the classification of topics and a complete index of every question, will be found to be highly practical in its simplicity. From the encouragement given by bankers, exporters and import ers, manufacturers, and lawyers, to this undertaking, it is to be hoped that this compilation may be of great and general use to the business and professional men throughout the United States.
