Background
Scott, James Brown was born on June 3, 1866 in Kincardine, Bruce County, Ontario. Son of John and Jeanette (Brown) Scott.
(The United States of America constitute a union of States...)
The United States of America constitute a union of States, a more perfect Union, to use the language of the preamble to the Constitution, than that under the Articles of Confederation which the Constitution was devised to supplant. On July 4, 1776, the thirteen British colonies lying between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada, to the east of theM ississippi, abjured allegiance to theB ritish Crown and solemnly published and declared themselves to be Free and Independent States possessing, as theD eclaration of Independence stated, full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract A lliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other A cts and Things which Independent States may of right do. A vailing themselves of their right to contract alliances, they entered into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defence, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretence whatever. Stiling this confederation The United States of A merica, and declaring in explicit terms that each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States, inC ongress assembled, the Articles of Confederation creating this union of theS tates were approved by their delegates inC ongress November 15, 1777, and ratified by the last of the thirteenS tates on March 1, 1781. The firm league of friendship failing of the purposes for which it was created by the delegates of theS tates inC ongress assembled and ratified by theS tates themselves, the Congress on February 21, 1787, resolved it to be expedient that on the second Monday in May next, aC onvention of Delegate (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(The present collection of cases on Quasi-C ontracts is pr...)
The present collection of cases on Quasi-C ontracts is prepared to meet the needs of classroom instruction of not more than three hours a week during half a year. While a case-book as such can make little or no pretence to originality in any way, attention is called to the historical treatment of the subject in the first eighteen pages of the book, whereby the quasicontract of the present day is treated as a natural, if unconscious, development of the quasi-contract of theE oman Law. To make clear this connection, frequent reference is made in the footnotes to theE oman and modern Civil Law of the Continent andS panishA merican States. It is hoped that the law of Quasi-C ontract gains in importance and precision, as it certainly does in antiquity and dignity, by treatment as a part of a larger and well-nigh universal system of law. In the next place, the arrangement is different from that with which the public is familiar. The present collection follows, and necessarily, ilr. A mess classification of the nature and extent of quasi-contract, as did Judge Keener, both in his Cases and Treatise; but the non-contractual aspect of the subject is accentuated from the very beginning. After the introductory matter of Book I., the obligation is considered as existing, independent of any contract, and, indeed, its existence is in itself the negation of contract. A s, for example, the obligation of restitution when defendant acquired the plaintiffs property by a tort, or where the money in question was paid by the plaintiff under duress, legal or equitable, or under compulsion of legal process. Then recovery is considered when a contract exists, but the contract itself is due to mistake of law or fact. In the next place, the question of recovery in quasi-contract is considered when the contract is impossible of performance; when the contract is illegal; when the contra (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
