Opis: A Treatise on the Law of the Contract of Pledge as Governed by Both the Common Law and the Civil Law (Classic Reprint) - Denis Henry

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of the Contract of Pledge as Governed by Both the Common Law and the Civil Law

I would not have thought of writing at this late day a book on the Contract of Pledge of the Common Law exclusively. Several treatises have already been published on that subject. Text-books, besides, are too often mere repetitions of one another. My object in this work is to arrive at a better knowledge and understanding of the law of Pledge of the Common Law by comparing it with the law of Pledge of the Civil Law, from which it descends. The comparative study of scientific subjects is always profitable, whether it is that of comparative anatomy or that of comparative jurisprudence. Both Judge Story and Mr. Schouler in their Treatises on Pledges recognized the relative obscurity and uncertainty of the Common Law on that subject, and suggested that assistance could be derived for its better understanding from the knowledge of the Civil Law. This is my reason, and, if necessary, my excuse, for presenting this book to the consideration of the Bench and Bar of this country.
