Excerpt from Cases on Commercial Law: Contracts, Agency, Sales, Negotiable Paper, Partnerships, Corporations These cases have been prepared for the use of students in Commercial Law. When the writer took charge of the Commercial Law classes in Northwestern University, some years ago, he doubted whether he could profitably use cases as material for assigned lessons, and he therefore relied upon mimeographed notes in the form of a text, using cases only in brief paraphrase as illustrations, and these notes were afterwards put in type and published in the form of small hand books. But it was noticed that when the writer dwelt in his lectures on the facts Of actual cases and stated the court's decision and read from the Opinion, the stu dent seemed deeply interested, and retained the matter better in his memory than other parts of the work. From this experience, the writer became convinced of the value of the use of cases, in his classes, and he has used them in mimeograph form in connec tion with text for some time with considerable success.
