Commentaries on the Law of Bailments is a comprehensive legal treatise written by Joseph Story and first published in 1832. This 1878 edition includes updates and revisions by the author. The book explores the complex legal concept of bailment, which refers to the transfer of possession of personal property from one person (the bailor) to another (the bailee) for a specific purpose. The text provides a detailed analysis of the various types of bailments, including those for the benefit of the bailor, the bailee, and both parties. The author draws on examples from both civil and foreign law to illustrate the principles of bailment, and discusses the legal rights and responsibilities of both the bailor and bailee.
