Marvin write of this work: "The whole work is marked with that ample and redundant learning and vigorous good sense, which have given his previous legal writings so high an authority, both in England and America. He has every where illustrated the doctrines of the common law, by copious extracts from distinguished writers on Roman and Continental law, and shown us how inevitably the exigences of commerce, and the sense which intelligent merchants have of their own true interests, lead to the same principles in commercial law in England, Scotland, France, and America" Marvin, p. 672.
