Excerpt from The Civil Liability: For Personal Injuries Arising Out of Negligence
In the preparation of the present edition, the text of the work has been revised, all errors discovered corrected, and obsolete and redundant matter expunged. A great amount of new matter has been added under the respective section heads, and a number of supplementary sections inserted. The cases, reported since the publication of the first edition, have been examined, and about seventeen hundred citations from the decisions of the courts of last resort added to the work.
Gratefully acknowledging the favor with which the the first edition of the book has been received, the author believes that its thorough revision, and the additions made to it in the present edition, will be found materially to have increased its value, both to the student and the practising lawyer.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an esteemed legal scholar and practiced attorney, presents a scholarly yet accessible examination of the rules of negligence, contributory negligence, vicarious liability, and more under the law of torts. Focusing specifically on responsibility in personal injury cases, the author traces the evolution of negligence law from its common law origins through modern statutory modifications. Statutes varied across jurisdictions have attempted to mitigate the harsh common law doctrines affecting masters and servants, with the author providing illustrative case studies to highlight these changes. Of particular interest to legal scholars and practicing attorneys alike will be the author's exploration of defenses to negligence claims, including affirmative defenses, such as contributory negligence, assumption of risk, and provocation, which can bar a plaintiff's recovery. The author also discusses topics including the burden of proof, statutes of limitation, and damages and remedies for negligence.
