Year: 1920 Language: english Author: Robert M. Hughes, M.A., LL.D. Genre: Handbook Publisher: WEST PUBLISHING CO. Edition: SECOND EDITION Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Number of pages: 587 Description: Tult main object had in mind in this edition has been to modernize thoroughly both the text and references, in or- der to bring the treatise up to date and to show the great changes in admiralty law which have taken place, both by statute and by judicial decision, since the publication of the first edition. On account of these changes, much of the first edition has become obsolete, and discussion of questions then un- settled has been obviated by their subsequent settlement. It is not claimed as a feature of this book that it cites all or any large proportion of cases on a given subject. Nothing is more laborious or difficult than the selection of the references. Frequently the two or three cases cited in a footnote are the survivors of a dozen or more that had to be examined or weighed. The rank of the court, the reputation of the judge, the reasoning and style, all must be considered and balanced. Printing an opinion may render it more accessible, but does not add to its value. There is no alchemy in print to transform a baser metal into gold. This edition has had the general practitioner in view rather more than the first edition, which was largely intended as a text-book for law schools. The Table of Illustrative Cases contained in the first edition has been omitted, but many leading cases are printed in capitals throughout the text as a means of directing special attention to them. Though it is impossible to make the paging of the new edition conform to the old, it has been found feasible to preserve the original numbering of the black-letter sections. This will facilitate referring from one edition to the other - a matter of some importance, as the courts have frequently done the author the honor of citing the work. The author desires to make special acknowledgment to Professor George B. Eager, Jr., of the University of Virginia, for valuable suggestions, and to the publishers for their readiness at all times to aid with all descriptions of labor-saving devices.

der to bring the treatise up to date and to show the great changes in admiralty law which have taken place, both by
statute and by judicial decision, since the publication of the first edition.
On account of these changes, much of the first edition has become obsolete, and discussion of questions then un-
settled has been obviated by their subsequent settlement.
