Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Marine Insurance and General Average, Vol. 1 of 2 O? My treatise on Maritime Law, the first volume contained the Law of Shipping. The second volume con tained the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law of Admiralty. In preparing a new edition of this work, I found that the recent cases on the subject of Marine Insurance, and especially those on General Average in connection with Insurance, in England and in this co un try, from their number, their interest, and their effect upon those important branches of Commercial Law, made it impossible to confine the work within its former limits. I determined, therefore, after much consultation with persons in different parts of our country whose Opinions on such a question would be most valuable, to prepare a new work on the Law of Marine Insurance, founding it upon my former work, but so increasing its size as to enable me to make it as complete as I could. The result is the book now offered the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Maritime Law, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Law of Shipping, the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law and Practice of Admiralty Before I came to Cambridge, and while still engaged in the business of my profession, I had become convinced that the books in the different departments of maritime law, excellent as some of them were, were still Open to the objection, that they treated severally and disconnect edly, topics which in themselves were closely connected and needed the mutual illustration they could give each other. It seemed to me that the Law of Shipping and the Law of Marine Insurance, for example, could not be learned fully and accurately excepting in their connec tion. How these subjects intermingle in some of their subdivisions, is obvious. Thus, no work on Shipping would leave the subject of General Average untouched; and certainly no work on Insurance could do so. But does this topic belong more properly to Shipping or to Insurance? It belongs to both; and equally to both; and connects the two together. And to go beyond this, it may be said that there is no topic of either of these systems of law, which can be treated of with any ful ness, without a frequent reference, more or less direct, to the same topic as it stands in the other of those sys tems.

Excerpt from Treatise of the Law of Marine Insurance and Average, Vol. 1: With References to the American Cases, and the Later Continental Authorities The sea-laws of the Middle Ages make very little mention of Marine Insurance, but are of indispensable reference on the sub ject of Average: in consulting them, I have resorted to the great work of M. Pardessus (of which French lawyers may well be proud, and to which the legal literature of this country can show nothing similar) entitled Collection des Lois Maritimes (7 vols. 4to. Paris, from 1828 - 1845 still incomplete). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
