A Treatise on the American Law of Easements and Servitudes

Más información sobre el libro

Recognizing that a jurisprudence must conform to the wants and circumstances of its own people, Emory Washburn developed the first treatise on this subject reflecting decisions of the courts of the United States. He found earlier treatises on this subject inadequate, as they were based solely on English law and on conditions that varied widely from those in the United States. This comprehensive study of the early developments of this area of the law is still vital today. It covers, among many other topics, the nature, character, and mode of acquiring easements and servitudes; easements and servitudes of way, of water, and other matters; loss and extinguishments; repairs of easements; and remedy for injuries.
