Excerpt from A Concise Treatise on the Law of Arbitrations and Awards: With an Appendix of Precedents and Statutes The author's aim in the present work has been to furnish, within the limits of a volume of modest bulk, a concise but complete statement of all points of law and practice affecting arbi trations, from the inception to the final determination of the fate of the award. The necessity for such a book is sufficiently evidenced by the constant complaint of professional men engaged in references, that they have no portable work on the subject. Th at the author has perform ed the task of condensation and selec tion to the satisfaction of all he cannot hope, but he does trust that he has performed it in such a manner as to make the result generally useful.
