Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Bills of Lading: Comprising the Various Legal Incidents Attaching to the Bill of Lading; The Legal Effects of Each of the Clauses and Stipulations; And the Rights 'and Liabilities of Consignors, Consignees, Indorsees, and Vendees, Under the Bill of Lading Or all commercial documents with which we are acquainted, none, probably, is more familiar than the Bill of Lading; but, owing to the numerous changes and additions which have of late years been made to this instrument, the difficulty of interpreting its clauses and stipulations, and of ascertaining the rights and liabilities of the parties to it, has much increased. The standard works on Shipping Laws all treat more or less of such rights and liabilities, but in so general a manner as to render it difficult, even for those possessing such works, to determine what is the legal effect of the different clauses and stipula tions in the modern Bill of Lading.
