A TREATISE ON THE LIMITATION OF ACTIONS AT LAW AND IN EQUITY. With an Appendix, CONTAINING THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS. By H. G. WOOD, AUTHOR OF "THE LAW OF NUISANCES," "MASTER AND SERVANT," "LAW OF RAILROADS," ETC. IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. BOSTON: THE BOSTON BOOK COMPANY. 1893. LIBRARY OF THE LELAND STANFORD JR. UNIVERSITY, A 42753 Copyright, 1882, BY H. G. WOOD. Copyright, 1893, UNIVERSITY PRESS: PUBLISHERS' NOTE TO SECOND EDITION. THE present edition was the author's last work before his sudden death, the proofs having been returned by him to the printer only a few days before he died. The text has been thoroughly revised, resulting in many changes and additions in accordance with the latest statutes of the various States and the decisions of the Courts. Over two thousand additional cases are cited, and the Appendix, embodying the English Statute of Limitations, as well as those of all the States and Territories, has been thoroughly revised. It was the author's aim throughout to make his references to the latest Revision or Code, and in each case the subsequent laws have been examined to bring the Statutes down to date as far as published. The success of the first edition in 1882, and the important changes in the Statutes of Limitations enacted within the last ten years, encouraged the author and his publishers to hope for the same favorable reception for the present edition as was accorded to the first. |
