Document:
An offer to sell a specified quantity of goods cannot be made binding on the proposer by ordering a less quantity, for there is no offer to sell any quantity greater or less than that specified.72 And the same is true where the offer is to sell a certain quantity each of several articles, and the person to whom the offer is made orders the specified quantity of one or more of them, but declines of an offer to sell land, "subject to the title being approved by" the acceptor's attorneys, is not conditional.
