Of the Law and Practice in Actions Against Municipal Corporations for Negligence in the Care of Highways (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Of the Law and Practice in Actions Against Municipal Corporations for Negligence in the Care of Highways Actions against municipal corporations for injuries arising upon highways are, it is generally admitted, unduly numerous. To account therefor, some persons argue an unseemly readiness to make cities and villages suffer for the misfortunes of travellers; others insist that the corporations are quite too forgetful of their duty toward those who use their streets. Probably both opinions are correct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
