The winner of the prestigious Yorke Prize, this essay is still cited in the literature of commercial and international law. "Mr. Mitchell has satisfactorily risen to the occasion, and has given us an interesting study of the early history of that system of universal practical law which the traders of the Middle Ages recognised as binding upon them in their international dealings. Customary in its origin and principles, summary in its jurisdiction and equitable in its spirit, the Law Merchant has been a potent factor in the development of the modern commercial law of all the countries of Europe, and Mr. Mitchell's account of its beginnings is full of suggestion.": Juridical Review 16 (1904) 446.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Law Merchant and Negotiability, Vol. 3 Although the actual origin of the Law Merchant is enveloped in obscurity, this much may be said with certainty, it existed in its early stages as a body of varying customs obtaining among a certain class of the population - the class of merchants. As the number of the merchants increased, so the existence of these customs became more pronounced, with the result that they gradually became of sufficient importance to be generally recognised by the king's court, and finally to be included in the general law of the land. A notable peculiarity of the Law Merchant in its earlier stages was its international character combined with its administration as purely local custom, at the same time it partook of the nature of the widest and of almost the narrowest system of law. According to Blackstone, the English common law consisted of general customs, particular customs, and customs recognised by special jurisdictions - such as that of the Admiralty courts. In the earlier stages of our legal history particular customs, where they occurred, formed a kind of local common law, which was recognised, determined, and administered by purely local courts, but it is a historical fact that the king's courts gradually extended their own jurisdiction by encroaching upon that of the local courts, and conse quently the king's judges became well acquainted with many of the more important local customs, and afterwards were prepared to accord them full judicial recognition. One of the most striking illustrations of this is to be found in the final and complete judicial recognition of the custom of gavelkind.

Download or read book The Law Merchant and Negotiable Instruments in Colonial New York 1664 to 1730 written by Herbert Alan Johnson and published by Lawbook Exchange, Limited. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines an important and complex period in the history of the laws and customs devised by merchants to regulate their relations with each other, and the changes in the law merchant and in negotiable instruments in colonial New York during the years 1664 to 1730 in the context of New York's commercial place in the British Empire. "Economic influences and legal theory combined to form the New York law of negotiable instruments during the colonial period. That the legal theory was an amalgam of Dutch civil law and elementary English common law serves to complicate the situation. Furthermore, the unsettled nature of the judicial system during the seventeenth century made consistent legal development fortuitous at best, and haphazard at its worst. This fluid state of economic and legal development is as fascinating in its complexity as it is baffling in its inconsistency." Introduction, 3. "This brief study of the law of merchant and bills of exchange has as its background a fascinating era of legal history. Changing legal institutions and patterns of trade were typical of these early years. For the student of history, as well as the legal scholar, these developments are of great significance for they are the basis for the future growth of the law and the commercial supremacy of the province of New York." (Preface, vii.) Herbert A. Johnson is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Law, University of South Carolina School of Law. He is the author of numerous books including History of Criminal Justice, Fourth Edition (2010).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Early History of the Law Merchant: Being the Yorke Prize Essay for the Year 1903 His Essay does not in any way claim to be a Treatise on the subject. Lack of leisure has compelled me to omit many important topics and to deal all too briefly With others. My debt to previous writers - to Bensa, Huvelin, Schaube, Pollock and Maitland, and above all to Goldschmidt - is evident on every page; as far as time and opportunities allowed I have gone to the original authorities. While the Essay was in the Press, I learnt that there were numerous fair rolls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
