Excerpt from The Law of Passenger and Freight Elevators With the intention of writing a magazine article on the subject of passenger and freight elevators, I began examining the authori ties; but soon discovered that within the last half dozen years the cases had so increased in number and importance as to permit a brief treatise on this new subject. Accordingly, I have collected What I believe to be all the cases to date, digested them and classified the legal points as well as I was able to. It will be observed that the immaturity of the sub ject compelled me to occasionally write inde pendent of direct decisions; but where I have done so I believe that I have follpwed estab lished principles and correctly stated the law. To make this little book exhaustive I have dealt in details; to render it acceptable as authority in the courts I have freely quoted the opinions of the highest State courts.
