Book excerpt: "This book discusses a difficult and seriously defective part of the common law. Considering its practical importance, the subject of joint promises has received surprisingly little attention. Noting is commoner than for a contractual promise to be made by more than one party; yet the rules relating to joint promises are accorded little space in the English textbooks on contract, even where they are not entirely ignored. Partial expositions are to be found in works on partnership, bankruptcy, suretyship, negotiable instruments, executors, and procedure, but there is no modern monograph devoted to the subject as a whole. It is hoped that the present work will fill this gap." -- from the author's Preface, p. 3.
