Excerpt from The Negotiable Instruments Law: From the Draft Prepared for the Commissioners on Uniformity of Laws
In the draft as originally prepared, and as submitted by the commissioners to the legislatures of the States, the act was divided into four titles as follows: 1. Negotiable Instruments in General; 2. Bills of Ex change; 3. Promissory Notes and Checks, and 4. Gen eral Provisions; and this arrangement has been pre served in many of the States. But in other States, as for example in New York, the titles were omitted, and this, of course, necessitated a renumbering of the articles. In some States, where the act has been car ried into a revision of the statutes, the articles have been dispensed with. The sequence of the sections is the same in all of the States, except that in some States, as in new__york, the general provisions have been placed at the beginning, while in most of the States these sections are put at the end. The section numbers vary greatly, but the number of any section as it is in any State, can be readily found by referring to the table of corresponding sections on page xiii. Under the heading variant readings the changes made in the statute In the difierent States are indicated. These, it will be observed, are not important, except in the States of Illinois and Wisconsin.
