A Digest of Railway Decisions: Comprising All Reported American Cases in Which a Railway Company Is a Party, and All Other Cases in Which Railway Law Is Determined (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Digest of Railway Decisions: Comprising All Reported American Cases in Which a Railway Company Is a Party, and All Other Cases in Which Railway Law Is Determined

A digest OF railway law has been much needed by the legal profession of the United States for many years.

The great and rapidly increasing importance of railways, and the vast amount of litigation attendant upon their construction and operation, will suggest, not only the necessity of such a work, but the magnitude of the task undertaken in its preparation.

Railway cases generally involve large sums of money, the best legal talent is employed in their trial, and they are usually tried with a view to their re vision by an appellate court. Hence they are highly important as precedents, owing to the skill and care with which they are tried. The original design of this book was simply a Digest of American Railway Law, but it was found upon examination that without very much enlarging its size, it could be made to em brace the principal points of every railway case.
