A SELECTION OF CASES

LAW OF INSURANCE.

Edited and Annotated

-BY

EDWIN H. WOODRUFF,

PROFESSOR OF LAW IN THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY COLlege of Law.

In one volume of 605 pages, Bound in law canvas, Price, $4.00 net, or $4.25 by express prepaid.

This new case book has been prepared in view of the growing demand for instruction on the law of insurance in the law schools. The necessity of maintaining a course on insurance law as a part of the curriculum of law study becomes more and more apparent for the following reasons:

First, the ever-increasing importance and extent of the insurance business; there being comparatively few persons who are not directly or indirectly interested in insurance policies of one kind or another.

Second, the large amount and variety of insurance litigation, as

shown by the reports and digests.

Third, and most important to the law student, the modifications and striking peculiarities in the applications of the principles of contracts, agency and evidence to questions of insurance law.

To the practicing lawyer it is believed that this book will be of much aid in the investigation of questions of insurance law, for he will hardly fail to find among the numerous cases contained in the volume some case analogous to the one he may have under consideration.

On application, the publishers will send a copy of the book to the instructor in the Law of Insurance in any law school who may desire it for examination, with the view of adopting it for use with his classes should he find it adapted to that purpose.

From the Central Law Journal.—“The book before us is the most thorough, the annotations the most closely in point, and the arrangement and classification of the cases the most orderly of any book of cases that has ever before been presented to our notice, evincing on the part of the author great legal learning and the qualities of conciseness and order so necessary to the legal writer. It is difficult to conceive that the practitioner can have any insurance case to investigate that will not be found analogous to some one of the leading cases in this book."

From the Harvard Law Review.-"The author in this volume has furnished us with an excellent case book. * * * The difficult task of selecting the cases has been performed with discrimination."

From the American Law Register." The man who studies law by the case system regards as invaluable the production of such a book as A Selection of Cases on the Law of Insurance,' recently published by Professor Edwin H. Woodruff, of Cornell."”
