Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Principal and Agent

The object of this book, as has been explained more fully in the introductory chapter, is to present the general rules and principles of that part of the law of Agency which may conveniently be classed under the head of Principal and Agent. Topics which are commonly classed under the head of Master and Servant have been largely excluded, or have been discussed only incidentally. The scope of the book has been thus limited both because it was the desire of the writer to treat the matters considered with greater fullness of illustration in text and notes than would have been possible had its scope been enlarged, and because the matters excluded have been covered by other books in the Hornbook Series.

The subject presents many difficult points as to which there is conflict of opinion, sometimes in respect to the rules, sometimes in respect to the reasons for the rules. It has been the aim to discuss these questions briefly and, when possible within the limited compass of an elementary book, to give expression to the views of the judges in leading cases; and on all points treated to cite, in addition to the leading cases, a sufficient number of the later cases to make the book serviceable to the practitioner as well as to the student.
