The Interpretation of Contracts

In "The Interpretation of Contracts" the author states the various rules in the form of short propositions of law, which are followed by extensive critical discussion, and in many cases the real application of the proposition is illustrated. Subjects considered include the object of interpretation, the materials available, law and precedent, the meaning of words, implied terms, the canons of construction, ambiguity and inconsistencies, mistakes and inconsistencies, and preliminary parts of a deed.
