Excerpt from Commercial Precedents Selected From the Column of Replies and Decisions of the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, 1914: An Essential Work of Reference for Every Business Man "The commercial, equally with other branches of the common law, grew up out of personal usage, and the principle of growth or adaptation to the wants of the commercial world, remain inherent in the system." Estimating the importance of this book with reference to the amount of property afloat in the shape of bills, notes, and checks, the magnitude of our shipping interests, the complexity of our business in all its branches, there never has been a time when it called for greater accuracy and discrimination, or invited the attention of merchants and professional men with motives of equal urgency. The New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, for more than three-quarters of a century, has been the recognized authority throughout this broad land in commercial matters, viewed in the most comprehensive sense of the term. Among the departments of this journal, its editors have for many years devoted one or more columns daily, owing to the demands of many thousand subscribers, to answering the questions of these subscribers on the important and every-day usage and principles employed in every known business of the civilized world. From these columns, known as "Replies and Decisions," I have selected with great care those which are in vogue today and of vital importance to every business man as well as to those who have relations with business men. The selections, comprehending the usage and principles in practice in the numberless branches of business, are arranged alphabetically, according to the subject-matter, and under their appropriate heads and subdivisions; also a carefully arranged index, so subdivided as to enable the most indifferent reader to find any particular question or subject-matter desired, - the number of the question and the page on which it occurs being given.
