It then delves into the various legal obligations and responsibilities of both parties in a bailment, including the duty of care, the duty to return the property, and the right to compensation.Lawson also discusses the different ways in which a bailment can be created, such as by contract, by law, or by implication. He provides examples of common bailment scenarios, such as parking a car at a garage or leaving luggage with a hotel, and explains how the law applies to each situation.Throughout the book, Lawson cites relevant case law and legal precedents to support his arguments and provide a more thorough understanding of the law of bailments. He also includes a glossary of legal terms and a comprehensive index for easy reference.Overall, The Principles of the American Law of Bailments is an essential resource for lawyers, law students, and anyone interested in understanding the legal principles that govern the temporary possession of property in the United States.A Companion To The Author�������s Work On Contracts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
