An interesting historical treatment on the growth of the law of contracts in general and specific types of contracts, such as bailments, bills and notes, and agency.
From the Publisher
The fundamental principles of the law of contracts are set forth along historical and evolutionary lines. The common-law principles of contract can be traced back to the twelfth century. The volume is divided into four parts: the history and general principles of contract law; the history and theory of the law of bailment; the history and practice of the law of bills and notes; and the genesis and theory of the law of agency.
