Excerpt from The Admiralty Law of Collisions at Sea

A book which, in small compass, should set forth the law of collision, in the plainest language, so that, whilst a careful reference at every point to the original authorities should render it serviceable to members of the legal profession, it might at the same time be suitable for the reading of shipowners, and, at any rate, the more instructed class of ship-captains, could not fail to be useful, if not in diminishing the frequency of collisions, at least as tending to prevent hopeless litigation afterwards. To write such a book was the object I proposed to myself I am sensible of many deficiencies in the execution, for some of which I may perhaps be allowed to plead want of leisure. Such as it is, I can only hope that this little volume may he found of some service, in the absence of anything better of the same kind.

It may reasonably be expected, without any merit on the Author's part, that such a book, written at the present time, should be pervaded by a uniform spirit of liberal and comprehensive equity.
