Abstract

It has rightly been said that the promissory note is the Cinderella of negotiable paper. It is indeed strange that this instrument, widely used in most countries, is accorded only a few words in the legal textbooks and a few sections in the respective statutes. The purpose of the present study is not to rescue promissory notes from their present position of obscurity, but rather to present a unified classification of the specific provisions relating thereto, which are in force at the present time in the legislations of the American continent.
