Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Collective Ownership: Otherwise Than by Corporations or by Means of the Trust; Being the Yorke Prize Essay for the Year 1905
Jurisprudence may be expected to demand that everything shall have an owner: if any specific thing lacks an obvious owner, the law is likely to place the ownership thereof in the king.
Usually ownership is sole ownership. The general rule is simple - one thing, one owner. But there are exceptions. The owner's power of excluding others may be limited. The law, which recognises successive owners, may also - to respect certain situations in family relationship or in trade or otherwise - recognise simultaneous owners.
