Handbook of the Law of Bills and Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Bills and Notes

This book is intended, not for the practitioner, but only for stu dents in law schools and law offices. Its aim is to lay before the student those principles of negotiable bills and notes which will in the future most frequently come before him in his prac tice. With this end in view there have been collated from the best text-writers and the leading cases, the most apt statements of these principles. And since it is believed that no lawyer can advise a client upon principles of law. Unless he knows the prao tical business reasons that gave them birth in the minds of the judges, there are also stated in a brief way, the reasons which actuated the judges in arriving at the establishment of the prin ciple-itself. And lastly, that the student may see the opera tion of these principles and reasons in a practical light, there has been adapted from various sources for his drill, a statement of simple problems such as are likely to frequently arise in his practice. So that the instructor may drill the student, or the student may drill himself, in the application of the principles and reasons which the text of the book states. C. P. N. Buffalo, October lst, 1893.
