Modern Law of Personal Property

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The present work is intended to be the complement of the Modern Law of Real Property; in consequence of the favorable reception accorded to that work the Author has been induced to undertake this one. The same method has been adopted; in particular, where it has appeared desirable, statutes have been quoted verbatim, and in like manner expositions of the law by Judges and Writers are given in their own words. What is common both to realty and to personalty and has been already treated of in the earlier work has not been repeated in this.<br><br>The subjects of Bankruptcy and of Bills of Sale have been fully treated; separate chapters have been deyoted to the Bills of Exchange Act, to the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, and to the laws of Copyright; in the seventh, eighth, and twelfth Chapters will be found an outline of the law relating to Companies; the provisions of the Married Women's Property Act, which has effected so many changes, will be found passim.
