Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Sales IN this edition a good deal of new matter has been added, many changes in arrangement have been made, and chapters 1, 3, 4, 7, and 10 have been partly rewritten. Many cases re ported since the first edition, especially on mooted points, have been cited in the notes. It has been deemed advisable to print in an appendix the proposed Sales Act, recommended by the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which has already been enacted in sev eral states, and which bids fair, like the Negotiable Instru ments Law, to be adopted generally. The act, like the English Sale of Goods Act, on which it is based, is in the main declara tory of the law, and is valuable as furnishing statements of rules which, for the most part, are of universal application. To a great extent, the statement of rules and principles in the black-letter text has been made to conform to the language of the Sales Act. References to the appropriate sections are made in the notes, care being taken to point out changes proposed, or efiected in states which have adopted the act. For purposes of comparison, the English Sale of Goods Act also has been printed in the appendix, and frequent references to it are made in the notes. F. B. T.
