Excerpt from Lectures on Commercial Law and the Law of Negotiable Instruments: 1912-1913
During the past winter I have delivered a series of lectures before the Boston Chapter of the American Institute of Banking. These lectures have been taken down in shorthand and printed for the benefit of members of the Chapter. I have received a number of requests to allow these lecture notes a wider circulation; and hoping that the very brevity and simplicity of my statement of the law might be helpful to some, I have consented. I have not attempted to change the form of my oral remarks, and the lectures are necessarily subject to such limitations as the nature of the course involved. My statements of the law are not exhaustive and the choice of topics has been dictated chiefly by questions of practical interest. My audience, not being lawyers, did not require the citation of authorities. The law referred to is that of Massachusetts, unless it is otherwise stated, though most of what I have said expresses the law of other States.
In the hope that my numerous references to the sections of the Negotiable Instruments Law may not prove confusing to readers outside of Massachusetts, I call attention here to my statement in section 246 with reference to the numbering of the sections of the law in Massachusetts.
