Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Commercial Paper, Vol. 1 of 3: Containing a Full Statement of Existing American and Foreign Statures, Together With the Text of the Commercial Codes of Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain; With Appendix
In a few of the United States this important branch of the law has been codified; and since the adoption of the English Bills of Exchange Act in 1882, effort has been made to procure the enactment of a similar law by the Congress of the United States. This has been met at the outset by grave questions as to the constitutional power of Congress in the matter. In Canada, the power to legislate on this subject is now happily exclusively reserved to the Parliament of the Dominion by the imperial Act of Parliament, by which it was con stituted.
