PREFACE.

HE greater part of the matter contained in the

THE

following pages was originally published, four

years ago, in the form of "Instructions

to ship cap

tains, for the purpose of informing them of their legal rights and duties, so as to enable them to keep their employers free from disputes and litigation; or, in case any dispute or accident should occur, to enable them, as far as possible, to save the shipowner from suffering any loss. Although a captain, when from home, has generally no one to advise him, excepting those whose interests are in direct opposition to the interests of the shipowner, no other book of the kind has hitherto been published (so far as the writer is aware), in which the various practical points relating to shipping law are collected together; and as a new edition of the abovenamed Book of Instructions is required, the whole of it has been re-written, and additions have been made to it, for publication in its present form.

It does not profess to be anything more than a short summary of the law on the subject, and the information given has been put in as concise and practical a form as possible. References to the law cases have not been given, as their insertion would have been of no use to non-legal readers.
