The Commercial Code of the a Translation from the Official Spanish: Edition, With Explanatory Notes (Classic Reprint)

The %M exican Commercial Code is in force throughout the whole Republic, and differs in this respect from the Civil Code, which, unfortunately, applies only to the Federal District, the Territories, and a few States which nave aaopted it, with or without modifications. Being general in its operation, and containing the whple of the law relating to trading and commercial transactions, its importance to traders, merchants and the legal profession cannotwell be over-estimated. Having regard to the fact that so many English speaking people.are engaged in trade here, the publisher was of opinion, and righ%y so, that a translation of the Code into English was most desirahle in their interests, and he accordingly entrusted me with the work. My instructions, were to make the translation as literal as possible and I have done so. As a consequence, some of the sentences are certainly couched in somewhat crabbed English, but it,is hoped that their meaning will be foun clear enough. A word of caution, however, is necessary. Some of the words used in the original have no exact -counterparts in English, and could only be rendered by means of long phrases, which it would be too cumbersome, to repeatedly use. In such cases I have employed the English words most nearly equivalent, and have given the exact, meaning of the original words in Notes at the end of this work. These notes, I trust, will be found useful, and a reference to them will be desirable when definitions or explanations are required.
