The Student's Guide to Railway Law: A Manual of Information for Traders, Passengers, and Railway Students (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Student's Guide to Railway Law: A Manual of Information for Traders, Passengers, and Railway Students
This book is intended to present in ordinary language, and as clearly as possible from technical terms, a general view of the main features of the subject.
This book should serve the purposes of those traders or passengers who desire nothing more than the general bearings of -railway Law and also of students who are in search of an introductory treatise prior to attempting the more advanced books.
Readers will find many of the principles stated here amply illustrated by the decided cases set out in Pitman's Law of Carriage, by Mr. J. E. R. Stephens.
Questions on the subject - matter of each chapter are also added with the View of enabling the reader to fix items in his memory and to afford practice to the student who contemplates entering for any examination.
In addition to the subjects usually dealt with in a book of this class, a short chapter has been inserted on shipping law in connection with railway companies, as at the present time such companies are combining shipping business with their primary undertaking of carriage by rail.
A brief outline of the courts of law has also been written because the author has found such an outline was acceptable to audiences attending his lectures on Railway Law. A chapter is also given on the rating of railways and a chapter on canals held or controlled by railway companies.
The subject-matter of this book has been derived from the writer's long personal observation of what may be seen on the railways; from acquaintance with many persons who have in some capacity or other been in contact with them from books from time-tables from parliamentary papers from Acts of Parliament and from reports of cases.
Having read nearly every case in The Law Reports since January, 1881, the writer owes much of his knowledge of this as well as of other branches of law to the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales. He has also been careful to mention any authors from whose works he has made any quotations.
