Excerpt from The Law of Carriage by Railway

The object of this book is to present the law on the subject with which it deals in a concise form suitable for a students reading. It is a re-casting of notes made by the Author for Lectures delivered at the London School of Economics and Political Science to students, the majority of whom were in the employment of the great railway companies. The book does not pretend to be a complete digest of railway law, nor to compete with any of the existing comprehensive works on the subject. It is merely a handbook, which it is hoped will enable railway men to gain some knowledge of the law governing the ordinary relationship between the carrier and his customer.

It does not profess to deal with matters within the jurisdiction of the Railway Commissioners.
