Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Damages The general plan Of this work is as follows: The first chapter contains a general survey Of the subject; the nine chapters following, a statement and illustration Of elements, principles and rules relating to it; the next ten chapters the law Of damages applicable in cases Of breaches of con tracts; the following fourteen chapters the law of damages in all the various classes of torts; the succeeding one relates to damages under various statutes; the next chapter discusses the subject of nominal damages; and the last treats Of the power and discretion of the court to set aside verdicts for excessiveness or inadequacy. It has been my aim to furnish the practitioner with a useful and convenient treatise, embracing the latest statement Of the law and the most recent authorities; and I entertain a hope that its general usefulness may be largely augmented by the system and method I have pursued.
