Principles Of The Law Of Damages Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Principles of the Law of Damages The general purpose of this new book on the law of Damages is like the purpose of the book on the law of Contracts by the same author, to give a complete treatise on the subject in a small volume. All the fundamental principles of the law of Damages are summarized in rules, or propositions of law. Explanations are given for these propositions of law, with reasons therefor, together with criticisms thereof, whenever in the judgment of the author the rules are the subject of criticism. In order to further elucidate the propositions, copious illustrations are given, showing the application of the same. Under such a plan it is hoped that anyone reading the book will obtain a thorough understanding of the law of Damages.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Measure of Damages: Or an Inquiry Into the Principles Which Govern the Amount of Compensation Recovered in Suits at Law Convinced, as I have long been, that these changes - although attended by the evils which always wait upon great and sudden modifications of existing arrangements, evils aggravated in this case in our country by our tendency to act rather with energy and vigor than with caution and deliberation - still, that these changes will finally establish our jurisprudence on a basis more intelligible, more harmonious, more beneficial, I cannot in any sense regret their introduction.

Excerpt from Essentials to the Law of Damages Today, as is well known, the situation is altogether dif ferent. In contract, and as to pecuniary elements of dam age in-tort, the court can, and does, exercise rather a close control over the amount of damages; but, as to non-pecuniary elements of damage in torts, the jury may exercise a discretion of considerable breadth, for it is, as to such elements, exceedingly difficult, in most cases, to say that a verdict is excessive or inadequate, and it is altogether impossible to lay down practically complete general rules as in contract.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Principles of the Law of Compensation This Treatise is intended to explain the Principles of the Law of Compensation. Those principles have been developed in numerous decisions Since the passing of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, and are now so far settled that it is hoped this Work may be an accurate and useful Guide. Clearness in explanation has been a prominent object, and this the Author has endeavoured to attain by the adoption of a logical method of arrangement. The Author is greatly indebted to the assistance of Mr. E. M. Mioholls, of the South Eastern Circuit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
