Description

The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial development. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and carry on diverse and widely separated industries at the same time.

The following pages have been printed to accompany the writer’s collection of Cases on Agency, for use in the Department of Law of this University. Nothing has been attempted beyond the merest outlines of the subject. Explanation as well as illustration has in general been left to be supplied by the cases.
