Trover and conversion: An essay

The essay is bound in its original wrappers with staple marks at spine. Scattered underscoring, otherwise a nice copy of this scarce Warren publication. "Professor Warren's monograph covers most of the field indicated in its title. He discusses the qualifications of a plaintiff in an action of trover, and the various ways of committing a conversion, namely, by takiing, retaining, disposing of, using and altering the condition of chattels. ... In his Foreword, the author states that the essay 'is an attempt to give an outline of the law of conversion stated so simply that it may readily be understood by a student beginning his study of the law.'This is a difficult undertaking, but the author has accomplished his purpose with amazing success. The discussion is characterized by its clarity and intelligibility. Not only are the niceties of a highly technical sunject stated in simple and concise language, but what is perhaps more important, the social policy of the rules is made clear. ... All this is done with skill, and what to this reviewer seems an admirable appraisal of the interests involved."
