Restraints on the Alienation of Property (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Restraints on the Alienation of Property "In 1876 I shared the surprise, common to many lawyers, at the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Nichols v. Eaton." So I wrote in the Preface to the first edition. Surprise was an inadequate word. The people of the United States have many virtues, but all nations have their failings, and there are passages in the history of every country which it is painful for its citizens to contemplate. In our own history, political and social, the pages from which we most gladly avert our eyes are those which record our shortcomings in the matter of commercial honesty. More than once have we been saved from national repudiation by the integrity and courage of some one man; to save from State repudiation the one righteous man has at times been wanting; and more rehabilitated cheats have lived tolerated, if not honored, in our cities than it is pleasant to think of. If there is one sentiment, therefore, which it would seem to be the part of all in authority, and particularly of all judges, to fortify, it is the duty of keeping one´s promises and paying one´s debts. Nor could it be said that the highest tribunal in the country had been wanting in this matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
