Description

""The Elements of the Law of Bailments and Common Carriers"" is a legal treatise written by Irving Browne and originally published in 1896. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the laws governing bailments and common carriers, two legal concepts that are fundamental to the transportation and storage of goods. The first part of the book focuses on bailments, which are legal relationships in which one party (the bailor) entrusts property to another party (the bailee) for safekeeping or other purposes. Browne covers the various types of bailments, including those for the benefit of the bailor, the bailee, or both, and discusses the rights and responsibilities of each party in these relationships. He also explores the different ways in which bailments can be terminated or modified.The second part of the book deals with common carriers, which are individuals or companies that transport goods or people for hire. Browne explains the legal duties and liabilities of common carriers, including their obligation to provide safe and timely transportation, their liability for loss or damage to goods, and their responsibility for the safety of their passengers. He also examines the various types of common carriers, such as railroads, airlines, and shipping companies, and the different legal rules that apply to each.Overall, ""The Elements of the Law of Bailments and Common Carriers"" is a valuable resource for lawyers, law students, and anyone else interested in understanding the legal principles that govern these important areas of commerce and transportation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
