Excerpt from Commentaries on the Law of Negligence in All Relations, Vol. 3 of 6: Including a Complete Revision of the Author's Previous Works on the Same Subject In the preface of this work a plan was outlined which the author hoped to be able to carry out, but at the same time it was said that circumstances might vary it slightly. According to that plan, the third volume was to embrace the titles Carriers of Passengers, Negli gence of Municipal Corporations, and Negligence of Public Officers. It is found that the title Carriers of Passengers alone, exclusive of the analysis and index, embraces pages. This renders it im practicable to include in this volume the other two titles named, and they will be passed over to a subsequent volume. This volume embodies a complete revision of the author's previous work on Carriers of Passengers. That volume, it will be recalled, consisted of a number of leading or selected cases printed in full, and followed by extensive notes. Those notes were largely the work of Edwin G. Merrian, Esq., of the St. Louis bar, who was then the author's literary assistant, and who has been for many years an attach of the Law Department of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company. In making this revision the author has been impressed with the general care, accuracy, discrimination, and fidelity to truth, with which the portions of the original work assigned to Mr. Merrian were done; and he desires to renew his acknowledgments to that capable lawyer.
