(This book is the outgrowth of a plan to collect, in simpl...)
This book is the outgrowth of a plan to collect, in simple and compact language, and arrange in an order of my own, the essential doctrines of the law of contracts; referring mainly to the larger books, which the reader was expected to consult as he had occasion, for illustrations and the adjudged cases. But on proceeding to do what I had thus undertaken, I found the plan impossible with me, though doubtless it would not be with an author of greater ability. When I felt, in those books, for the ribs in the body of the law of contracts, and for the spinal column, I could not distinguish rib or backbone from muscle. Should I abandon altogether what I meant? That I would not do. So I have travelled through the adjudged cases, collected the leading doctrines, and arranged from them what I deemed to be a skeleton of the law of the subject, put with it so much of flesh in the form of illustrations as seemed imperative, and draped the whole with as thin a gauze of needless words as I deemed the public taste would bear.

Joel Bishop was born on March 10, 1814, in Volney, New York, United States, being a descendant in the direct male line from John Bishop, who, coming from England, settled at Guilford, Connecticut, in 1639. His father, Amos Bishop, a farmer of small means, son of Deacon David Bishop of Guilford, married Fanny Prentiss, of Paris, Oneida County, New York, and shortly after his birth the family moved to Paris.
Joel's youth was spent working on the farm, and his early education was obtained by intermittent attendance at Whitestone Seminary, Oneida Institute, and Stockbridge Academy.
In 1830 Bishop became a public school teacher, thus earning enough to continue his studies in his spare time. In 1835 he became associated with the New York Antislavery Society, and for a time was its general business manager, assisting also to edit The Friend of Man. He removed to Boston in 1842, entered a law office, supporting himself by literary work outside office hours, and was admitted to the bar April 9, 1844. Commencing practise in Boston, he slowly built up a connection, devoting his leisure to the collection of material for a treatise on the law of domestic relations. His Commentaries on the Law of Marriage and Divorce, and Evidence in Matrimonial Suits was published in 1852 and immediately attracted attention by its independent standpoint and freshness of treatment. Encouraged by its reception, and urged thereto by the profession, he thenceforward devoted himself to legal authorship, relinquishing active practise. His next work, Commentaries on the Criminal Law, in two volumes (1856 - 1858), placed him in the front rank of contemporary legal authors, being distinguished for clarity of style, scrupulous accuracy, and originality of thought. Additional editions of both these early books were quickly called for, and they continued in demand until long after his death.
His subsequent publications included Commentaries on the Law of Criminal Procedure; or, Pleading, Evidence and Practice in Criminal Cases (1866); First Book of the Law (1868), an introduction to legal science, study, and practise; The Law of Statutory Crimes (1873); Commentaries on the Law of Married Women (2 vols. , 1873 - 1875); Doctrines of the Law of Contracts in their principal outlines, a small elementary work (1875); Commentaries on the Written Law and their Interpretation (1882); Prosecution and Defence (1885), a book of forms and practise; Commentaries on the Law of Contracts (1887), designed to supersede his smaller work on this subject; Commentaries on the Non-contract Law . .. or the Everyday Rights and Torts (1889); New Commentaries on Marriage, Divorce and Separation (2 vols. , 1891); and New Criminal Procedure (2 vols. , 1895 - 1896).
Occasionally Bishop ventured into lay fields, with articles and pamphlets on current topics, the more noticeable of these being Thoughts for the Times (1863); Secession and Slavery (1863), Look and Think: Strikes and their related Questions (1886), and Common Law and Codification (1888).
His life was uneventful. He never aspired to public office of any kind, and early in his career refused the appointment of chief justice of the Hawaiian Islands offered him by King Kamehameha III. He died at Cambridge, Massachussets.
Joel Bishop was the foremost law writer of his time. His major works include: Commentaries on the Law of Marriage and Divorce (1852); Commentaries on the Criminal Law (1856–1858); Commentaries on the Law of Criminal Procedure (1866); First Book of the Law (1868); Commentaries on the Law of Married Women (1871–1875); Commentaries on the Written Laws and Their Interpretation (1882); Commentaries on the Law of Contracts (1887).

In 1836, Bishop married a widow, Angeline Pattice Margaretta Hout, in Berkeley County, Virginia. They were divorced on April 7, 1845, and Bishop married Mary Alice Perkins on April 18, 1845, in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts.
