Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of Horses
MY object in undertaking the following work has been to bring within a volume of moderate size a view of the principles, enactments, and cases in Scots Law that relate to horses. In endeavouring to do this to the full, I have thought it right to go, when necessary, beyond the narrow limitation of the subject; to refer, for example, to English authorities in illustration of the law of Scotland; to. Point out differences between the legal systems of the two countries; and to cite cases relating to other subjects than horses as authority for the general principles of contract, fraud, and negligence which emerge in transactions about horses. The work thus aims, while dealing with a restricted subject, at treating it completely. I desire to acknowledge the obligations I am under to Mr. A. Orr Deas, advocate, who has kindly revised the proof sheets, and to him and other friends for many valuable and practical suggestions.
