Excerpt from Popular Law Library, Putney, Vol. 4: Torts, Damages, Domestic Relations; Examination Questions
Although the branch of law now treated under the designation Of torts is one of the earliest to appear in any legal system, the name itself has only come into general use during the past half century.
It is very difficult to give any definition of tort which is both correct and concise. The reason for this lies largely in the great variety of wrongs which are included under this general title. The field of the law of torts is very broad, overlapping the field of criminal law on the one side, and that of contracts on the other.
