Description

“In the first edition of this work no effort was made to cover the subject of Master and Servant. The exigencies of the law school curriculum, if not the unity of the subjects, seem to require that Principal and Agent and Master and Servant be treated in a single course. Historically the subject of Agency grew out of the much earlier developed subject of Master and Servant. Blackstone did not use the term ‘agent’ in reference to the agency relation, nor does he recognize the subject of Agency apart from that of Master and Servant, and there only in a brief paragraph. Almost always in the older cases, and not infrequently to-day, the term ‘servant’ is used indifferently to designate one who acts for another, whether ministerially or in establishing contractual relations with third persons….

….The present importance of agency and its great development grow out of the fact that it is essentially a business relation, developed to meet the imperative needs of modern business.” --Preface.
