The Shipping-laws of the British Empire

and, to prevent mistake, have referred to the Code de Commerce and Code Civil in the notes below.

There are two subjects twice treated of, namely, average and salvage; each author having a chapter upon those subjects. This is a repetition (the unavoidable result of uniting the two books under one cover), but as they are considered from a different point of view, the one with a view to insurance and the other to shipping generally, and as they consequently reflect light upon each other, to strike one or other out would not only have done violence to the authors of it, but deprived the practitioner of the reflected light which is so valuable in the science and practice of the law.

To bring these two standard works once more within the reach of ordinary understandings, and within the means of ordinary men, I have done some violence to them both. I have, for instance, struck out from Park that part which relates to Fire Insurance; my object being to confine it to Marine Insurance. Let me, however, express a hope that both lawyer and merchant will consider this amply compensated for by the introduction of the chapters on Steam Navigation, the Passengers Act, and the like.

I have not, as I first began to do, distinguished my own matter from the authors' by any sign or mark: I have done this entirely out of deference to the opinion of professional brethren to whose great experience and sound judgment I always defer.

The declaration of war against Russia with Proclamations and Orders in Council relating to the matter are added.

If, for this attempt to rescue from wreck these two standard works, my countrymen should think I deserve any salvage-remuneration, I wish now to make it known, that the Merchant Seamen's Fund (one of the wisest and most humane of modern Institutions) receives Voluntary Contributions: and, as regards myself, that I am abundantly remunerated by the assurance that I have earned it.

I ought not to allow this book to appear without publicly expressing my gratitude to Simeon Jacobs, Esq., of the Home Circuit, for the invaluable service rendered to me while it was in the press.

I am, My Lord,

To the Right Honble.

SIR JOHN JERVIS, KNT.
