Chapter XI. Immunity of Landowner when his Rightful User of his Land (or the natural Condition of his Land) has resulted in Damage to his Neighbor.
3. The original chapter (Chapter III, first edition) on Negligence, Standard of Care and Degrees of Care is now divided into two chapters, and the first of these (on Negligence) is subdivided into eight sections.
