Description
Originally published: Dublin: Printed for John Rice [et. al.],
1795. Two volumes. Reprint of the sixth edition. Considerably enlarged and improved by
Thomas Mortimer. Beawes [fl. 1775] was a merchant and his book was
intended to be "a guide to all men in business." Nonetheless the Lex
Mercatoria was often cited in court, and its authority formed the
basis of several decisions. It was especially influential in the
United States, where, according to Kent, it was considered "an
authority in mercantile customs.": Kent, Commentaries on American Law
III:126.
