Excerpt from A Treatise of the Law Concerning the Liabilities and Rights of Common Carriers: In Two Parts

The division of the subject into Liabilities and Rights has been adopted under the conviction that It comprised the whole of the law affecting common carriers: the liabi lities of any set of persons constituting a part'of the rights of the rest of the public, which it is able to enforce; and the rights of any particular denomination of persons form ing a part of the liabilities of the rest of the community, to which it can be compelled to submit. In the First Part of this treatise, the liability of the carrier has been considered under very varied circumstances, and traced, through every stage, from the moment of its commencement by the re ceiving of the goods, to its final extinction by a competent delivery. In the Second Part, his rights have been dis cussed in the order in which they would most naturally accrue and those to which he is entitled before the receipt of the goods, and during the possession of them, have been first examined; and next, the attention has been directed to those that remain to him after parting with that posses sion, either by a delivery to the consignee, or by a neces sary act of jettison.
