The Law And Practice Of Marine Insurance Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on Maritime Law, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Law of Shipping, the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law and Practice of Admiralty Before I came to Cambridge, and while still engaged in the business of my profession, I had become convinced that the books in the different departments of maritime law, excellent as some of them were, were still Open to the objection, that they treated severally and disconnect edly, topics which in themselves were closely connected and needed the mutual illustration they could give each other. It seemed to me that the Law of Shipping and the Law of Marine Insurance, for example, could not be learned fully and accurately excepting in their connec tion. How these subjects intermingle in some of their subdivisions, is obvious. Thus, no work on Shipping would leave the subject of General Average untouched; and certainly no work on Insurance could do so. But does this topic belong more properly to Shipping or to Insurance? It belongs to both; and equally to both; and connects the two together. And to go beyond this, it may be said that there is no topic of either of these systems of law, which can be treated of with any ful ness, without a frequent reference, more or less direct, to the same topic as it stands in the other of those sys tems.
