Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cases on Damages Selected From Decisions of English and American Courts
Again, 'many topics of the law of Damages, which ordinarily are discussed separately, are really allied. Thus Exemplary Damages and Aggravation shade into one another imperceptibly, and Mental Suf fering is usually but another phase of the same matter. The courts often fail to distinguish between damages which are remote and those which are uncertain, and in many instances differentiation is difficult. These and other similarly related topics are treated in the time-honor ed fashion - separately - but the attempt is made to show their real inter-relation by means of cross-references. In the footnotes frequent citations will be found of other leading, instructive, or illuminative cases, which are not reprinted in full simply because of lack of space. They are suggested as additional material for reading by each student, but are not intended to supplant further suggestions by the instructor. Considerable liberty has been taken in cutting the cases reprinted. The necessary bounds of the book have necessitated the cutting of each case down to the lowest consistent limits. Long statements of fact, too, have been rewritten, and unnecessary citations of authority omitted.
