Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Communication by Telegraph This book treats solely of the Law of Communication by Telegraph. The telegraph is of great and growing im portance. It difi'ers radically from every previously known means of communication. Consequently, legal questions arising through its existence and use are often entirely novel. Such being the case, it is natural to expect to find the law of communication by telegraph in an unsettled condition, an expectation which is fully confirmed by an examination of the decisions. I believe that my sub ject, although not a broad one, fully justifies, in its im portance and in the unsettled condition of its law, the publication of a text-book. In the treatment of my sub ject I have endeavored to state the existing law in an easily obtainable form. Where the cases upon a point are conflicting, I have given the arguments bearing upon that point at length. Where I have had the misfortune to dis agree with the great weight of authority, I have placed my objections in a note. In addition to such Objections, the cases and the comments thereon, I have felt it best to place in the notes all matters bearing indirectly upon my sub ject. I wish to thank here Mr. John C. Gray for many valuable suggestions and criticisms on my manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
