Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A System of the Shipping and Navigation Laws of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 2: And of the Laws Relative to Merchant Ships and Seamen; And Maritime Contracts, to Which Is Added, an Appendix of Acts of Parliament Forms
The Chapter on the Registry Acts will perhaps be deemed disproportionately long; but the great importance of the subject, and the variety of the cases, rendered it necessary to go into detail, even to minuteness, on a subject upon which the property of shipping and the security of transfers so essentially depend. The Chapter on Penalties and Forfeitures has been annexed on account of the importance of the subject matter.
The second part of this Treatise, in which is discussed the law of Merchant Ships and Seamen, consists of seven Chapters.
