Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of Insurance, Vol. 1 of 2: As Applied to Fire, Life, Accident, Guarantee and Other Non-Maritime Risks
The present edition of this well-known work exhibits a growth corresponding to the vast increase of the busi ness whose legal aspects are treated in these volumes. This edition contains about seventy-five per cent more matter than the last. Every effort has been put forth to make the necessary additions in a manner worthy of the high character of the original structure. The old cases have been revised, and new ones added to a number nearly sufficient to double the Table of Cases. All relevant decisions in the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, have been examined down to as recent a date as was possible before going to press in the Spring. In respect to courts of the last resort, in the United States, exhaustiveness has been the aim; but in treat ing the labors of other courts, decisions that are merely cumulative authority upon undisputed points have been frequently omitted.
The analyses at the chapter heads are entirely new, and, as a condensation of the substance Of Insurance Law, will, it is hoped, be found useful.
