A Treatise on the Law of the Statute of Frauds, Vol. 1 of 3 Synopsis

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of the Statute of Frauds, Vol. 1 of 3: And of Other Like Enactments in Force in the in States of America, and in the British Empire

The statements of fact are unusually full, though no slight pains have been taken in so grouping the cases that one such statement may answer for several citations. The ingenuity with which judges have employed the thinnest distinctions to evade a harsh application of the strict law makes the most seemingly inconsequent fact to be of weight; and as the present work, with the other treatises on the same subject, must for want of libraries answer in many instances as the only possible substitute for the reported cases, all facts bear ing directly upon the issue of the decision have ordinarily been given.

It is not possible to prevent repetitions at times and redun dancy of citation, because the labor required to reduce the bulk of the book in this respect would have been very great. It is thought, however, that the over-fulness will not on the whole diminish the utility of the treatise as would an error in the other direction.
