Commentaries on the Law of Bills of Exchange: Foreign and Inland, as Administered in England and America, with Occasional Illustrations from the Commercial Law of the Nations of Continental Europe
Bu e-kitab haqqında
Apart from James Kent, no man has had greater influence on the early development of American law than Joseph Story [1779-1845], an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Dane Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and prolific author. Since their publication, his books have been cited extensively in America and in Britain. He remains an authority today. In The Formative Era of American Law, Roscoe Pound refers to the Commentaries on the Law of Bills of Exchange as one of the the most widely used and authoritative treatises of the nineteenth century. As Marvin pointed out in 1847, it was "undoubtedly the most elaborate and complete treatise extant on the elementary principles of the subject," one that draws on a wide range of American, English and Continental sources.
