Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Contracts and Specifications: Including a Brief Synopsis of the Law of Contracts and Illustrative Examples of the General and Technical Clauses of Various Kind of Engineering Specifications Designed for the Use of Students, Engineers, and Contractors
Since this work is designed only for laymen, however, the author may well quote the maxim that the man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client. The brief synopsis of the law herein given, therefore, is not intended to remove the necessity of consulting a lawyer on all important matters, but only to enable one to steer clear of some of the legal pitfalls which lie in the way of every business man and especially of engineers.
Since custom has laid on engineers and architects the duty of writing Specifications and contracts, it is well for them to know something of the legal ground they are forced to traverse. The first part of this work is intended, therefore, to serve as a cautionary warning against legal entanglements, rather than as a counselor or guide through such difficulties. The synopsis Of the Law of Contracts as here given has been revised by a very competent legal authority, and the author is indebted to him for many valuable suggestions and corrections. It p ably will not mislead one into trouble, though it may not always point the way out.
The author also wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the many prominent engineers who have kindly sent him copies Of their latest specifications for use in this work, and he has acknowledged this debt in the body of the book by append ing to each quotation the initials of the person quoted. A key to these initials is given on page IX.
