Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Public Contracts The method by which I proceeded, wherever this was possible, was to state the general principle affecting the particular subject in hand, then to state the subsidiary principles or exceptions to the rule, and lastly to illuminate these, when possible, by appropriate illustrations. In the examination of thousands of cases I have selected these best illustrating the text and have not attempted to weigh down the footnotes by excessive citation. With very few exceptions every case cited is a public contract case. The work does not include the subject of governmental or municipal bonds.
