Admiralty Jurisdiction, Law, and Practice: With an Appendix, Containing Rules, Statutes, and Forms (Classic Reprint)

It is proper, perhaps, to state, as showing the authors qualifications for this work, that he has been extensively engaged in practice in the Admiralty Courts, and that he has delivered courses of lectures, as Professor of Commercial Law, Equity, and A dmiralty, before one of the incorporated law schools at the South. The favor with which these lectures were received, both by the students and by experienced members of the profession, prompted the preparation and publication of this book. No effort has been spared to bring the matter within as small a compass as was consistent with a thorough and comprehensive treatment of the subject The numerous notes of cases which the author had made for his own use in practice have been revised and condensed so as to preserve the proper proportions between the different parts; and great pains have been taken to eliminate all that would not be of practical value to the bench and the bar.
