But as neither explanation nor example is given, we checks, or to reserve and exercise the right of continuous ! pass to its effect on the relation of master and work-inspection and control. That is the ground and the jusman, illustrated, of course, by the contrasted example of tification of our law of unlimited liability. It is reasonLowell. We almost doubt Mr. Field's candour when able to insist, that if several persons join in a mercantile we find him adopting this puerility. In an under- undertaking, not only shall all be liable collectively peopled and improving country the bodily and mental for the full amount of the joint debts, but each shall faculties alone of an intelligent labourer are capital of be induced to exercise at least some caution in the no inconsiderable value, giving him the means and the selection of his associates and agents, by being made a desire to rise to a higher grade in society. The con- surety for them; and we think this requisition should sequence is, that in America the classes of the employers be universal, extending to the entire prohibition of and the employed melt insensibly into each other. privileged trading companies. Experience is not in Mr. Bancroft Davis, in his evidence before Mr. Slaney's favour of companies. Even in the case of railways we committee of 1851, said, "I can hardly conceive of are finding the advantage of substituting debenture any other state of things in America.

The differences in condition are much less engineer's establishment can believe that society has marked than in Europe. There is less accumulated anything to gain from the encouragement of joint-stock capital, and labour becomes capital more rapidly than in companies. The discouragement of companies would an older country. If there is any one thing that distin- not give an undue advantage to large capitalists.

Everybody is struggling for something discharging its duties, it would be conducted by compebetter." (Pp. 823, 824). Is this a consequence of the tent men, stimulated to the most energetic and prudent law of limited liability? No. The state of society use of their faculties by their responsibility for the bordescribed by Mr. Davis existed before the American rowed capital, and their interest in the entire surplus revolution; the law of limited liability was first enacted profits of the undertaking. Whether at any stage in in New York in 1822, in Massachusetts in 1835, long the progress of a commercial people companies are useafter the New England States had become remarkable ful as pioneers is a question we need not discuss. The for their labouring partners. Mr. Wilkins, on whose opinion of most observing men is, that they are not authority Mr. Field relies, finds that the proportion of needed in this country and at this time. special partnerships to general partnerships and chartered companies is small. Mr. Gerard, a leading member of the New York Bar, says, "The proportion with us is small, as the American people are all men of business, and take an active part in all commercial pursuits." (Field, p. 77). We are afraid that the example of Massachusetts is not worth much. They have legalised mandatory partnerships, which they do not use; they are overrun with chartered companies, which every one condemns; (see the opinions of M M. Troubat and Wolowski, cited by Mr. Field, p. 49); and they obstinately retain the usury laws, which they are continually evading.

It is pretended that our law discourages workmen from clubbing their savings in partnership, and masters from assisting skilful workmen to commence business. There is no truth in either statement. Unlimited liability cannot be a bugbear to one who has little capital, and puts all he has into one venture; and no country has yet been discovered in which masters shew a desire to help able workmen to set up for themselves. If the wish exists here, the relaxation of the usury laws affords ample opportunity for combining its gratification with that of self-interest.

"The law converts real partners into nominal creditors." The subject of credit is still the opprobrium both of science and of legislation. We do not pretend to have probed it to the bottom. But what is the difference, let us ask, between lending money at interest and selling goods on credit? If there is no distinction between the dormant partner sharing profits and the lender of money taking interest, then there is none between the dormant partner and the dealer supplying goods on credit at credit prices. But the differences in both cases are vital. One is this: if you agree to share profits, you agree, or ought to agree, to have some control, by way of check, at least, over the management. A creditor cannot have such control-a partner may. To trust a manager with more capital or more credit than belongs to his interest in the business tends to make him reckless, and it is expedient that they who trust him should be induced by an unlimited liability either to surround him at the outset with sufficient

The law has interfered by limiting the effect of the general notices of carriers, by prohibiting general carriers from making special contracts for the carriage of goods, &c., and we think-the laissez faire "principle" notwithstanding-that it would act wisely in interfering in other cases. It is a delusion to say that these are interferences with private contracts. There is no contract at all in such cases. You take your passage by a railway train, and are told on the back of your ticket that the company will not engage to keep their time, or be responsible for your luggage. You must go; there is no other way; you accept the ticket. This is no contract: it is duress. And generally, when any mercantile undertaking is started, with a large capital and limited liability, those to whom it offers its custom are under duress to accept it, however much they may dislike the limit of liability; for when such associations are allowed, you must either deal with them, or retire from business in favour of others more adventurous. The reckless debtor thus creates the reckless trader. If we were to abolish the remedy for debts altogether, we should not destroy credit, but only vitiate it. With the Oxford dealers in non-necessaries a minor is a favourite customer.

The testimony of Mr. D. D. Field, of New York, and Professor Greenleaf, is cited in favour of the results of the law in America. This does not quite agree with what we have cited above from Mr. Wilkins; and we have heard a contrary opinion strongly expressed by very competent observers; and both in America and in France the proportion of reckless speculation to the amount of capital is notoriously far greater than in England.

Mr. Field sees mischiefs arising out of the conflict of our law with the laws of other countries. A good reason for extending the best law to every country which it will suit.

Mr. Field asserts that the statistics of failed unlimited-liability companies, as compared with those of failed liability companies, prove the expediency of the change; but, until he gives us the statistics, we shall be excused for doubting the fact. His authority, Mr. Troubat, is against him here. After stating that in

France it was proposed by certain lawyers to correct *Cornwall-Francis Howell, Esq., Ethy, near Lostwithiel, the over-trading there attributed to the commandite system, by the substitution of incorporated companies with limited liability, Mr. Troubat says, (in a passage cited by Mr. Field), "Had those gentlemen come to the United States about the same time, we could have demonstrated to them, in the ruin of some scores of loan companies, savings funds societies, local companies, and banks, all exploded upon the principles they advocated in France, with acts of incorporation, the blessings to be obtained from the establishment of partnerships with nobody responsible" &c.

But, Mr. Field says, the popularity of limited liability associations in the United States, and elsewhere where they are allowed, is an experimentum crucis in their favour. "What the world for itself finds best in a long run is commercially the best." Such an experimentum crucis would prove the utility of bubble companies, betting-houses, hells, and the like.

We heartily concur in all that Mr. Field says against the system of Board of Trade charters. It is a barbarous absurdity, and must soon be swept away; but with it we would also abolish every other mode of authorising participation in profits without soliditaré.
