Excerpt from A Treatise on Guaranty Insurance: Including Therein as Subsidiary Branches the Law of Fidelity, Commercial, and Judicial Insurances, Covering All Forms of Compensated Suretyship, Such as Official and Private Fidelity Bonds, Building Bonds, Court Bonds, Credit and Title Insurances

Every lawyer owes a debt, be it great or small, to his pro fession. If he can repay that debt by contributing something to the learning of his calling, he is but satisfying a highly meritorious obligation. The life of the twentieth-century advocate is a busy one, full of ceaseless activity and arduous labor in the service of that most jealous and exacting of all professions, the law. It is difficult to snatch the necessary leisure from the demands of active practice to do the careful and laborious work required of one in the proper preparation of a text-book on any important legal subject. In the ease of the author of the present work, this has been by no means easy of accomplishment. The preparation of a work upon guaranty insurance was commenced by the writer several years ago, in response to what was even then an urgent demand for a work on a subject of growing importance. One thing or another has delayed its completion until the present time. In some respects this delay has been fortunate, for it has permitted the use of a large body of exceedingly valuable case law, which has appeared during the intervening period.
