PREFARATORY EXTRACTS
The utility and importance of an acquaintance with the
principles of Marine Insurance, have been long felt and ar^
duly acknowledged by the commercial part of almost ev
ery country —Nothing therefore is tetter calculated to
promote the true intefefts of commerce, than a treatise
which teaches the law that is to regulate the centrals of
merchants.„
To render a work of this kind ufeful to the merchant it
should be as complete within itfelf as poffible—fa as to
make a recurrence to other books seldom, if ever necessary.
This the author has endeavoured to do.—ln order, there
fore, that this work Should possess an advantage above any
ether of the kind, now extant, the author has observed one
invariable and uniform rule, through the whole. Each
case will he found to canfift of three diftina parte :—
The fa&s —the decilion—and the rugons assigned for
that deeifion.
There is scarcely any contra a, which affords a greater
number of gueftions of doubt and difficulty--than that of
marine Insurance.
The principles of the law applicable to this contrast are
in general, well defined ; yet the policy being usually of
the fame tenor, and the tranfadions upon which it is to
operate, infinitely various and complicated. The conflict
ire rights of the parties, are often so equally balanced,
that it is impossible to decide between them, without ferae
times resorting to very nice diftindions.—For this purpose
the numerous and complicated cases which have been de
cided in the courts of Weftminfler, upentyeftfons of in
surance within the left sixty pr seventy years, afford the
bed materials to assist the judgment, and to complete a
treatise on this fubjed. They at once fcpply the rules of
law, and shew the application of them.
The merchant will difeover from a perusal of this work,
that the leading principles which govern contrasts of in
surance, lie within a very narrow compass. Those princi
ples are established ; and, if well underflood, the only dif
ficulty which remains, is the application of them to partic
ular cases. '
gyArrangements will be made in a ffiort time for pro
curing fubferibers, in all the principal commercial towns,
