Excerpt from The Law of Personal Injuries Relating to Master and Servant, Vol. 1 of 2 The subject of the present work has become one of the most important of the law. Its consideration is attended with more than ordinary difficulties, by reason of its comparatively recent development. Unlike other branches of the law it is not controlled by traditions or customs of ancient common law, but rather by a common law peculiar to itself, emanating almost solely from expressions of courts and judges. It may not be inaptly termed an independent branch of the law. Courts of particular jurisdictions have felt free to express their own inclinations in formulating particular rules, rather than to be governed by rules or precedents established in other jurisdictions. As a result we have to-day most varied, distracting and inconsistent theories and rules in different states, rendering it absolutely necessary on the part of the practitioner that he acquaint himself with the established doctrine as declared in each. This, even with the utmost study and research, is not easily accomplished. Courts unrestrained are apt to make inconsistent law. The information derived from the ordinary digests and indexes is not often complete or satisfactory, and text-books ordinarily treat the subject in such a general manner, merely stating abstract propositions, that all that is required is not gained from such source.
