This work bears internal evidence of a careful and thorough examina- tion of the Cases, and the principles to be deduced from them are stated with precision, and in a concise and vigorous style. Mr. Story evidently strove to embody the Law of Contracts, in as condensed a form as the subject and the scope of his Treatise would admit, and in this particular he has been eminently successful. The labour of condensation in writ- ing a law book, the stating the rules to be derived from whole classes of Cases, with their varying phases, is a very different kind of labour from transferring Decisions from the Reports, and leaving the reader to thread his way to the governing principles as best he can. The author might have expanded, to advantage, some parts of his work a little more, without interfering with a compact exposition of the Law of Contracts. Warren's L. S. 75S, n ; 1 A. L.
