Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Admissibility of Parol Evidence in Respect to Written Instruments The purpose to prepare this treatise was formed more than twenty years ago, and some parts of it were written many years ago. The idea of writing such a work grew out of the costly suffering of one of the author´s clients by reason of judicial ignorance of an exceedingly elementary doctrine of this branch of law, and the work has grown up gradually from subsequent practical experience and from the editorial reading and research of the last fourteen years. It is not a little singular that in the flood of modern text-books none have been written upon this topic, in regard to which questions arise in every lawyer´s every-day practice. Until now no attempt at a distinct, comprehensive and thorough treatment of the subject has ever been made. To ascertain the law the practitioner has been obliged to search a great variety of books. The text-books examined in the preparation of these pages would form a respectable working library. Even in the digests there has been no thorough grouping of the decisions under one head. The writers on evidence have done no more than devote a few paragraphs to the topic, the most extensive treatment by any of this class of authors being that of Mr. Frank S. Rice, in his recent work, in which are to be found some seventy-five consecutive but coarsely-printed pages on the topic, considerably taken up with the titles of cases, and much in the nature of a digest. Decidedly the best treatment it has ever received is at the hands of Mr. Dwight Arven Jones, in his most excellent work on "The Construction of Commercial and Trade Contracts," in which the author devotes two hundred pages to the subject, but the treatment is necessarily limited to its applicability to the special branch of commercial agreements. A glance at the table of cases in the present volume will reveal the largeness of the general subject, and every lawyer´s experience will cause him to wonder, if he chances to think about it, why it has never before formed the basis of a distinct commentary.
